The main objectives of the Jean Monnet Teacher Trainings are to allow schools and Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers to build knowledge about the EU among their teaching staff, to offer structured training proposals on EU subjects for schools and VET providers, providing content and methodologies for teachers teaching at various levels, from different backgrounds and experience. Additionally, the action aims to deliver specific individual or group training courses for teachers interested in the EU and willing to integrate EU subjects in their daily work and to foster the confidence of teachers in integrating an EU angle in their daily work.

Higher Education Institutions or Teacher Training Institutes/Agencies will organise activities under this action enabling teachers in schools and VET providers to develop new skills, to teach and engage on EU matters, empowering them through a better understanding of the EU and its functioning. Teacher training bodies will strengthen their internal knowledge and skills on teaching about EU matters, and thus, leave teachers better equipped when introducing EU content in their activities.
