Through this programme, around 100 projects at public schools of all levels were supported with a total of approximately CHF 11 million. The funded initiatives demonstrated how new approaches to teaching and learning can emerge from educational practice, be successfully tested and integrated into everyday school life.
The programme contributed to making forward-looking educational innovations visible, initiating transformation processes in schools and strengthening the development of Future Skills among children and young people. The bottom-up approach was particularly valuable: teachers and school managers were able to address concrete challenges, develop new solutions and embed them sustainably in school practice.
The projects, experiences and networks created continue to have an impact beyond the funding period. They provide guidance and inspiration for schools seeking to actively shape the transformation of the educational landscape and prepare young people for the demands of an increasingly complex and digitally driven future.
