The EM Panel of Schools & Projects in Europe is an English Matters’ initiative to promote recognition of good practices of education in Europe. Fortunately the concept of teaching excellence and good practice is now part of everyday language among professionals and the public in general. This initiative encourages outstanding performance and excellence in education by honoring and giving recognition to schools and projects in Europe.
The creation of the EM Panel of Schools & Projects in Europe is a consequence of English Matters’ extensive experience in Promoting a European Dimension in Education.
We wish to help to disseminate the good teaching of schools and the successful practice of projects across Europe. Here, you can find interesting schools and projects. We encourage you to share your successful experiences with the entire educational community in Europe.
