Summary/Abstract: TEAM (Teacher Education about Multilingualism) was a strategic partnership for higher education among nine universities in Europe and beyond, funded by European Union’s Erasmus+ Key Action 203 (KA203) program. This collaborative project spanned between September 2020 and August 2023. The partnership, commonly referred to as the ›project‹, was led by the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań (Poland). It included the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece), Bar-Ilan University in Tel Aviv (Israel), the University of Edinburgh (United Kingdom), the University of Granada (Spain), Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland), the University of Konstanz (Germany), the University of Rijeka (Croatia) and the University for Foreigners of Siena (Italy). As specified in the project proposal, the primary objective of the TEAM initiative was to educate both in-service and preservice teachers across various school subjects on the diverse dimensions of multilingualism. This was achieved through the development of a state of-the-art open-access online course on multilingualism, designed for use in teacher training institutions and beyond.
