This spring, Tatiana Popa took part in the Nobel Prize Teacher Summit and extended programme in Stockholm as a Swedish Institute scholar – an opportunity offered through the Sweden Alumni Academy. Based in Moldova, she is deputy academic director and Global Perspectives teacher at Heritage International School, where she also leads staff development, coordinates student councils, and serves as a national teacher trainer and eTwinning* ambassador. We caught up with her in Stockholm for a few reflections on the experience – and what’s next.
