About the Event:

This two-day event is designed to bring together education stakeholders, professionals, and experts from across Europe and beyond to build partnerships and share knowledge. Our goal is to elevate the standards of education and strengthen our collective capacity to support high-quality, inclusive education systems on a global level.

Join us for a rich program of sessions and activities designed to inspire collaboration and insight, including:

  • Plenary sessions: engage in insightful plenary sessions and interactive discussions led by experts Raffaela Kihrer (EAEA) covering the most pressing challenges and opportunities in the education sector

  • Online presentation: The Pact for Skills and Blueprints for Sectoral Cooperation on Skills by Felix Rohn (Pact for Skills)

  • Panel discussions: connect with renowned education leaders as they discuss the future of learning and innovation in education

  • Interactive workshops: join hands-on workshops to develop skills, share best practices, and foster collaboration

  • Best practice: showcase of successful EU funded projects

  • Networking opportunities: network with other educators, stakeholders, and professionals. Enjoy a special speed-dating session over coffee, designed to encourage informal dialogue and build meaningful connections

Throughout the event, participants will have the chance to connect with professionals from various organizations across Europe, with a focus on developing project proposals for EU grants (especially for 2025 deadlines). Our aim is to foster innovation, enhance local community support, and strengthen quality assurance in education at both national and international levels.

Special Pre-Event Gathering: Paint & Wine Evening

Arriving early? Join us on January 22, 2025, for a relaxing Paint & Wine evening, an informal and creative gathering designed to help you unwind before the event.

No prior painting experience is necessary—just bring an open mind and a willingness to connect with others in a fun, supportive atmosphere.
