🌍 A fantastic experience at ERACON 2026! 🇨🇾🚀
At Smart teachers play more, we never stop learning and connecting. Over the last few days in Paphos, Cyprus, we have been part of ERACON 2026, the go-to annual congress for Erasmus+ coordination. 🇪🇺
What are we bringing back home with us?
🎯 Impactful Mobility & Global Pathways: We learnt that Staff Mobility is no longer a “box-ticking exercise”; the current EU trend demands measuring its real impact on the institution. Furthermore, we analysed how to create more flexible, global partnerships that go beyond the traditional Erasmus framework.
🏛️ Straight from the European Commission: We received direct insights from the EC Directorate-General regarding upcoming quality standards: less bureaucracy but a much higher bar for participant support and monitoring. We also looked into the latest Mobility Barometer, which will be key for future EU funding.
🤖 AI, Inclusion & Management: We dived deep into Artificial Intelligence methodologies to draft ultra-competitive funding proposals. On top of that, we gained insights into benchmark initiatives like the EU-GANOM project (recognising administrative staff) and the D.E.F. Project (digital tools for labour market inclusion).
🎪 Live Networking & Our Stand: We were right at the heart of the action at our exhibition stand, promoting the Smart teachers play more active learning methodology to a fantastic reception. We wrapped up by participating in a live workshop, mapping out funding and designing consortiums for the 2026-2027 cycle.
Amongst many other things!!
And of course, we managed to capture some spectacular photos and videos whilst enjoying the rich history and beautiful sea in Paphos! 🌊🏛️
We return fully inspired and ready to channel all this knowledge into our projects, continuing to drive active, global, and digital education forward. 🚀
Smart Teachers Play More
Innovative education courses with well-being, play & creativity at their core. In Iceland and Spain! Erasmus +🇪🇺
Smart Teachers Play More has grown from the meeting of two experienced teachers from different countries who share a passion for teaching, learning and professional development. Despite being thousands of kilometres apart and developing our own projects to meet the needs of our local contexts, we have discovered that our programs complement each other perfectly and that we share the same values an

📚 We’d love your feedback on this draft visual model for our second book for Early Years and Lower Primary educators.
We’re exploring a simple question:
❓ How do we show the Smart Teachers Play More methodology in a simple image?
Our current thinking is this:
✨ Academic learning is taught through physical, social and emotional activities.
The curriculum stays at the centre.
We don’t ask teachers to do more.
💡 We simply change the learning experience.
❓ If you could add one word to the model, what would it be?
👇 We’d love to hear your ideas.

Why did we create the Smart Teachers Play More London Conference?
After more than 10 years of training teachers across Europe, we wanted to create something that brought together the things we value most:
🤸 Movement
🧩 Practical strategies
💜 Wellbeing
💛 Meaningful connection
Most importantly, we wanted to share a message that sits at the heart of everything we do:
We don’t change the curriculum. We change how children and teachers experience it.
Academic learning remains at the centre. Through movement, play, wellbeing, creativity, and connection, we explore ways of making learning more active, engaging, inclusive, and meaningful.
Join us for two inspiring days of learning, reflection, and practical ideas with educators from across Europe and beyond.
