On May 18-20, 2023, the international event "Exchange of experience in vocational education" was held in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia.

The purpose of the event was to develop the teaching methods of educators using modern approaches, to increase ICT and language skills, to create conditions for the   joint lessons and international projects with international colleagues. Educators from countries such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Denmark, and Greece participated in the international professional development event.

2 teachers of the vocational institution participated in the event promoting project-based learning experiences to support pedagogical staff training activities that meet the requirements of the 21st century in the vocational education and training system. Esmira Alverdiyeva, a teacher of Sumgayit City Vocational Lyceum No. 3, and Sonakhanim Velikhanova, a teacher of the Baku State Vocational Education Center for Culture and Crafts, participated in trainings aimed at ensuring learning based on the joint work of students and teachers in project-based education. As a result of the event, the participants created common lesson models and received international certificates.

We would like to note that within the framework of the project, various professional development trainings and international conferences are organized for teaching staff throughout the year. The events are held both face-to-face and online. Around 18-20 educators across the country participate in events organized in Europe throughout the year.
