Introduction
Over the next four years, ELNE will bring together a network of 100 partners encompassing employers, education trade unions, schools, ministries of education, local governments, VET networks, school networks, universities, and research institutes. 18 ETUCE member organisations are also members of the consortium: ZNP, Poland; LESTU, Lithuania; OIELE, Greece; FSLI, Romania; TUI, Ireland; BUPL, Denmark; TUS, Serbia; STESI, Spain; UNSA-Education, France; FNE, Portugal; INTO, Ireland; FLC CGIL, Italy; PSZ, Hungary; CMKOS, Czech Republic; OAJ, Finland; SEB, Bulgaria; DLF, Denmark; Solidarnosc, Poland. Other education trade unions are welcome to follow up on the network’s next activities.
ETUCE takes a broad view of school leadership, encompassing, not only the head or principal of the learning institution, but also other individuals with leadership roles such as deputy principals, departmental/subject heads, senior teachers and other individuals entrusted with leadership responsibilities. ETUCE believes in distributed leadership, shared or collaborative leadership involving teachers and the whole pedagogical community in collaborative decision making.
