Bridge Europe
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.
Together we shape the future!
We have built our training on our expertise and two decades of running successful language training centres and language schools.
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.

What comes after data collection?
The birth of the bridge training program
What challenges do today’s teachers face beyond digital skills? We asked 1019 educators across Europe — and their answers shaped a brand-new training program.

Two countries, one goal: Testing the bridge training in portugal and slovenia
The BridGE training wasn’t just created on paper – it was tested in real classrooms, with real teachers. To make sure our program resonates with educators across generations, we organized two pilot workshops:
🇵🇹 Oliveira do Hospital, Portugal – where our project partners involved teachers from their own schools.
🇸🇮 Žalec, Slovenia – where another group of secondary school teachers experienced the interactive training in full.

Wrapping up the bridge project: events, insights, and a gift to the community
As the BridGE project comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to look back on everything we’ve shared – and everything we’ve built together. We hosted a final in-person event at our Hungarian site, bringing together educators and stakeholders for an inspiring day of reflection and exchange. Alongside this, our Portuguese and Slovenian partners held national webinars, where we presented the results of our research, shared experiences from the pilot workshops, and opened the floor to questions and feedback.
