Children can experience a variety of minor and major traumas that can impact their mental and physical health, behavior, and academic performance. How do different traumatic experiences affect children's nervous systems, bodies, and behavior? How can we recognize the signs of trauma and support children within our institutions?

This last month, students and teachers from Christian schools across Europe gathered for the 2026 Student Leadership Conference (SLC). Over three events, two weeks in Hungary and one in the UK, young people from more than 50 Christian schools worshipped together, studied God's Word, attended practical leadership workshops and met in small discussion groups led by their peers.
Evangelical Christian schools in Spain are preparing to take a significant step together. At the 5th Forum on Christ-Centred Education, held in Barcelona on 30–31 October 2026, educators will be presented with a project to form a national federation of Protestant Christian schools.
