A new school year brings new classes, new challenges and new opportunities to rethink teaching and learning.
As teachers and schools plan for the 2026–2027 school year, important priorities include keeping students engaged, making effective use of AI and digital tools in education, developing more active and student-centred lessons, strengthening language and digital competences, and connecting learning with practical, real-life experiences.
Our Erasmus+ teacher training courses in Dublin for 2026–2027 are designed around these current classroom needs. Through practical activities, collaborative learning and hands-on lesson creation, teachers can develop new strategies and resources that they can take back to their schools and immediately adapt to their own students.
If professional development and Erasmus+ KA1 staff mobility are part of your school’s plans for the new academic year, explore our upcoming Erasmus+ courses for teachers in Dublin below.

Planning Erasmus+ Training for a Group of Teachers?
If your school is planning an Erasmus+ KA1 staff mobility, you do not necessarily have to choose an existing course.
HESL can also organise training for school groups. We also develop bespoke Erasmus+ teacher training programmes based on your organisation’s learning objectives.
This can include adapting an existing course to your school context, combining elements from different training topics or developing a programme around priorities such as AI, digital competences, sustainability, inclusion, language learning, Project-Based Learning or innovative teaching methodologies.
Contact us with your group size, preferred dates and training priorities and we can discuss the most suitable options.
