Bespoke professional learning visits for international groups

Each year, we work with a wide range of groups from abroad. We are able to host visits of international groups at Moray House School of Education and Sport that range from a half-day session to a two-week programme of academic workshops sharing research expertise as well as facilitated educational visits to nurseries, primary and secondary schools, university departments, and other educational institutions. For example, we have hosted groups of Headteachers and groups of individuals working for local government.

Groups have visited from countries such as the US, Netherlands, Sweden, China, Georgia. In some cases, our academic staff may be able to trave internationally to lead professional learning courses.
