A “workshop” is usually thought of as a space where people work and create new objects of value, where something new is created or something old is repaired or renovated. And that is the essence of this semester-long programme. We see the intensive and active development of the competences needed for teaching as crucial for improving the quality of teaching at Masaryk University and for the professional growth of teachers. We firmly believe that the care given to teachers leads to an increase in their motivation and to the acquisition of good teaching habits. This can also lead to increased satisfaction with the quality of teaching on the part of both teachers and learners.
