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!

 

 

Insights from Christian School Leaders - part 1

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.

In Memory of Bert Vogel

In loving memory - with deep gratitude and firm trust in his Lord and King, ACSI Europe remembers Bert Vogel, who went to be with the Lord after one year of illness on February 14, 2026.

ACSI Day of Prayer 2026

On February 24, 2026, join Christian school leaders, teachers and students around the world for a day of prayer. Resources are provided for schools to organize prayer-centered activities designed to focus our attention on God's presence and provision for His work through global Christian education.

Standing in the Gap

In January 2026, leaders from across Europe gathered in Brussels for the General Assembly of the European Association for Christian Education (EACE). With 44 participants representing 20 countries, the meeting offered a rich space for reflection, strategy, and collaboration at a time when Christian education in Europe faces both growing pressures and new opportunities.
