The Council of Europe in-service training programme enables teachers, headteachers, teacher trainers, school inspectors and other educational staff from the 49 member states of the Council for Cultural Co-operation (part of the Council of Europe) to take part in in-service training workshops

The workshops take place over 3 to 5 days and bring together teachers from across Europe, including countries in the former Soviet Union which are not eligible for EU programmes. They cover a wide variety of themes from Human Rights and Children’s Rights in Belgium to Drama and Civic Education in Bulgaria.

The workshops enable educational staff to:

			Widen their professional experience
			Exchange information and ideas with other European colleagues
			Create networks and develop links with schools/colleges
