The Colloquium Pedagogical Innovation: Approaches, Practices and Challenges took place on 26 March, organised by the OP.Edu – the Observatory for Education and Training Policies, in collaboration with ESEL-IPLUSO - IPLUSO's School of Education, and in partnership with António Sérgio Training Centre.

This was the opening colloquium of the thematic cycle that OP.Edu will dedicate to the issues of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in 2025, and aimed to present and discuss different experiences, pedagogical approaches and challenges related to pedagogical innovation and a transformative vision of education and school, capable of simultaneously contributing to the creation of relevant learning, inclusion and teachers' reflection and professional development.
