Teacher Power! - Higher Education Policy in Action with PROFFORMANCE

The "Teacher Power! - Higher Education Policy in Action with PROFFORMANCE" event celebrates the project's goals and achievements by highlighting the performances of higher education teachers and showcasing the tools and resources the project offers to support development in the field.

During the event, the award recipients of the PROFFORMANCE International Higher Education Teacher Award for 2024/25 will present their projects and best practices. Attendees will learn about the PROFFORMANCE Toolkit and the project's purpose, which empowers educators to lead meaningful change.
