Today, eNSPIRED is well known as the VVOB-programme that establishes international dialogue between educational actors in Belgium and their peers in countries in Africa, Asia and South America. In recent years, eNSPIRED has had numerous international guest speakers at guest lectures and learning weeks on a range of global education challenges including inclusive education, vulnerability, gender, multilingualism and professional learning communities.

On November 18, we will take a moment to reflect on eight inspiring and enriching years. During a studio broadcast, we will look back with some students and teachers at what we learned and what we will take with us for the future. We also launch a publication and a tool for quality deployment of international learning experiences. Stella Nyanchama Okemwa brings inspiration on decolonization. Nic Balthazar leads you through the well-filled program.
