GEO‑Academy is an European Erasmus+ Teacher Academy initiative running from 2023 to 2026. It builds a network and community of practice that equips both in‑service and pre‑service teachers with digital, green, and spatial skills through cutting‑edge geospatial technologies such as GIS, Remote Sensing, Earth Observation, and geospatial storytelling, all aimed at strengthening Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in classrooms across Europe.
The International Teachers Conference will be held from the 27th to the 29th of April 2026, in Paris and will bring together educators, researchers, policy makers, and geospatial experts to explore the latest in GEO‑Education.
