In spring 2023, eight student teachers from Howest, Artevelde and VIVES (three Universities of Applied Sciences) went on an international internship to Cambodia, Rwanda, Zambia and South Africa. We believe that the Flemish educational field can also learn from countries in Asia, Africa and South America, that is why we asked them to develop an eduSHARE! To achieve this, we already got them ready during a training day in December 2022.
After this enlightening internship they shared their eduSHARE with us and with their teacher trainers. Here some examples:

During their internship at a secondary school in Rwanda, they interviewed four students about how to get girls more interested in technical education.
