School Authority Partners

NextGen Education is a cross-European programme. It only works if it reaches real schools in multiple countries. That does not happen through websites or cold emails. It happens through institutional partners who already have the trust and the networks to bring something like this to the classrooms where it is needed most.

What you will do

You provide the institutional bridge between NextGen Education and the schools in your region or network. You do not need to build anything, design anything, or teach anything. You connect us to the classrooms and provide the institutional grounding that makes this partnership credible and effective.

Specifically, you will:

• Connect NextGen Education to schools in your network that want to participate
• Provide institutional support and legitimacy as a formal consortium partner
• Help navigate the local education landscape, including policies, schedules and expectations
• Support the coordination of pilot activities in your partner schools
• Contribute to the Erasmus+ application as a named partner organisation
• Share insights on what your schools and teachers actually need

What you bring

You are a school board, a municipal education department, a regional education authority, or a similar institution with responsibility for schools. You have a direct relationship with schools and the authority to support their participation in European programmes.

You believe in what you have read on this site. You see the gap between what school currently offers and what children actually need. And you want to help close it. Not by adding more burden to your schools, but by giving them access to a programme designed to fit inside what they already do.

Why this matters

European education is full of good ideas that never reach classrooms because they lack the institutional pathway to get there. NextGen Education is designed differently. By building the programme with school authorities from the start, it arrives in schools with support already in place, not as another top-down initiative that teachers have to figure out alone.

As a founding partner, you shape how this programme works in your context. You are not adopting someone else’s project. You are co-building a European programme that reflects what your schools and children need.

What this looks like in practice

We are looking for institutional partners in multiple EU countries. The partnership is structured through the Erasmus+ KA2 Cooperation Partnerships framework. This means shared goals, shared funding, and shared ownership of the results.

The time commitment is manageable. You coordinate locally, participate in consortium meetings, and help ensure your schools have what they need to run the programme. The curriculum, platform, and teacher support are all provided by the core team.

If you lead or work within a school authority and what you have read here speaks to what your schools need, we want to talk to you.
