Who we are Teachersrise organises teacher training courses and projects for teachers and schools from all over Europe. The Erasmus+ programme fully funds the costs of participation in our courses and projects for schools of all types and levels. We help those schools to get this funding through our dedicated Erasmus+ support service.
Course participants typically move for one week from their country to one of our locations to attend our courses and learn new teaching methodologies and skills. Along with the training, we also offer socio-cultural activities, accommodation and other services. Whether schools got Erasmus+ funding through our support service or independently, we actively compete with other Erasmus+ course providers to attract participants to our teacher training courses and other services, aligning with our organisation's sales targets. Our commitment extends beyond course booking: we prioritise resolving the practical aspects of the booking process of each participant, and strive to meet their needs and preferences for topics, dates, and other logistical factors. Moreover, we actively promote and upsell our additional services, enhancing the overall training experience for participants.
Instead, projects involve organisations from different countries cooperating on activities related to education and training. These activities aim to address specific topics, exchange experiences, and promote innovation and knowledge sharing among the partners. Our support service facilitates the creation of these partnerships by connecting organisations with similar interests and providing professional project application drafting. During implementation of these project activities, we are committed partners, focused on achieving great project results and fostering strong relationships for international cooperation.
