In 2023, Barbara Vauterin and Lisa-Marie Deman, two final-year students of the Bachelor of Primary Education at VIVES University of Applied Sciences, went to Durban in South Africa. They did a three-month internship at Mthombeni Primary School. During this international internship, we asked them to identify inspiring or interesting educational practices that can be used in teacher training in Flanders. For this purpose, they used the eduSHARE flow.
