ECCEN 2023: Understanding the times and knowing what to do

 

We would like to invite you, as Christian school leader, school board, politician, or teacher to our European Conference for Christian Education in the Netherlands (ECCEN).

March 15-17, 2023
Apeldoorn, the Netherlands

We live in a pluralistic and diverse society. How do we deal with the spirit of our times? What is our mission in this society as Christians and as Christian educators? At this year’s conference we hope to try to interpret and unmask the ‘zeitgeist’. It is important to recognise influences, be prepared and stay close to our calling! We aim to be a blessing by being salt and light in our communities, but how do we practice what we preach?

As Christian educators, we need to understand the present times and prepare ourselves and our students. Are we equipping our students through our curriculum and learning communities to be that salt and light? Moreover, the way that we approach this situation will depend on how God’s Word is working within us.

This present situation in today’s society urges us to meet together. We extend a warm invitation to European educators to join us at the 4th ECCEN conference hosted in Apeldoorn in the Netherlands. There will be lots of opportunities to meet, talk and share inspirational and practical examples. 

Join us to find guidance for your teaching practice and help build a strategic vision in your management boards that shows others the reason for the hope you have. 

A warm welcome to all!

Registration is now open. Please register via our website!

 

 

Digital Citizenship Education from a Christian Perspective

The Council of Europe’s framework, “Easy Steps to Help Learners Become Digital Citizens” (2023), defines three domains for development: Being Online, Well-Being Online, and Rights Online. But what does digital citizenship mean for Christian schools whose mission is grounded in Scripture rather than in secular definitions of the human person and society?

These gatherings brought together students and chaperones from 47 schools across Europe for a time of worship, discipleship, and leadership growth centered on the theme “Leaders Who Love Truth.”

Strengthening Critical Thinking

Christian schools are often intentional about teaching worldview and preparing students to engage with competing ideas. Yet the way we structure this engagement can either nurture deep critical thinking or unintentionally foster shallow habits of argument. Here are some practical tools to support critial thinking in the classroom.
