This report provides a detailed overview of the programme, with a particular focus on the daily structure of the four invitation programmes for overseas teachers, participants’ reflections, and examples of how international exchange initiatives have developed following participation.
In addition to summarising the outcomes of the 2025-2026 programme, the report also presents the results of an impact evaluation conducted with participants over the past seven years.
