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?

At IELC 2026, school leaders from across Europe participated in a short survey designed to explore a simple but important question: How closely do our daily practices reflect the Christian mission we profess? The responses provided a valuable snapshot of the current reality in many European Christian schools. Several clear themes emerged that are worth continued reflection and demand that we work together to strengthen our schools and their impact across our region.
