Bridging the Generational Gap between Teachers in Europe (BridGE Europe) project considers generational gap between teachers and educators as one of the biggest challenges of modern education in Europe.

Fewer and fewer young people are attracted to teaching as a career or choose is as a profession out of passion for the students or a different discipline. In the meantime, most faculties are facing with the problem of increasing average age of teachers, which combined with the decreasing number of young teachers entering the system led to a continuously widening generational gap between older and younger generation of educators.

Digitalization and the age of social media has changed our lives more in the last decade than maybe anything before. Accordingly, we see digitalization as one of the first and foremost issue to be addressed in the framework of the project aiming to bridge the generational gap between younger and older generation of teachers in secondary school education.
