Internationalisation of teaching, especially in the area of teaching cooperation, aiming to implement new educational models in a transnational action, expose teachers and educational developers to other cultures, educational systems and didactic methods. From the perspective of educational developers, we would like to share our experiences from at least two years in teacher training and train-the-trainer workshops in one of those European Union-funded initiative in which 13 European universities together set up a Challenge-Based educational system. We see our contribution in the format of a collegial exchange and joint reflection. On the one hand, we will present evaluation data from trainings as well as innovations of education labs within the ECIU University. On the other hand, we would like to share with the participants experiences about our workshop concepts (formats, timeline, material), the use of virtual methods and tools, and issues we face. Therefore, we would like to reserve more than half of the time for discussion.
