At the 24^th of May the first ESHA digital café was launched. The topic was:  What do the Inspections mean for you as a headteacher and for the quality of your school?

After the introduction on the topic by school head Dave Woods (NAHT), the heads from 5 countries exchanged information and experiences. They shared their personal feelings and talked about the impact of inspections taking place in the schools. The responsibility of the school head was a common aspect. Significant differences were mentioned from how in the UK a school head actually committed suicide related to a top-down inspection, through inspectors who are critical friends, to quality controllers who, on behalf of the educational authority gave a broader insight into what inspections can mean. At the end all participants agreed that the digital café is a fine way to meet and talk with colleagues from all over Europe about topics that matter. They will certainly attend next time!

The next café will be on the 30^th of June at 9.30 CET. The topic will be: How must education change to use the impact of Artificial Intelligence to our benefit?

During the next school year of 2023/2024 there will be 7 digital cafés (September, November 2023, January, March, and May 2024).
