ECCEN 2018: Freedom of Religion and Education

 

We invite you, as a school leader, school board, Christian politician or teacher to our European Conference for Christian Education in the Netherlands (ECCEN).
 
FREEDOM OF RELIGION & EDUCATION
Different European perspectives

September 12-14, 2018
Apeldoorn, the Netherlands

Many countries enjoy 'freedom of religion' and 'freedom of education'. These treasured freedoms are protected in national laws  and even United Nations Declarations.  We also see these freedoms being eroded and challenged aggressively in our increasingly secular societies.  Despite opposition, do we truly understand the authority that God has given, enshrined in these freedoms, to offer a compelling education for Europe? 
 
As Christian educators, are we taking full advantage of our freedoms? Can we defend these freedoms? Are we equipping students through our curriculums and learning communities to serve both God and our neighbour in modern Europe?
Moreover, the way that we approach this situation will depend on how God’s word is working inside us. After all, it is the freedom in Christ that sets us free. How do we cultivate our external and internal freedoms?
 
This situation in Europe brings us into need and calls 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 inspiring practical examples.
 
Let us inform your classroom pedagogy and help build a strategic vision in your management boards so you may confidently 'give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have’. 

A warm welcome to all!

Poetry Contest Winners 2026

Announcing our first ever ACSI Europe Poetry Contest winners... Students were invited to respond to the theme of "Oh how I love Your law" — drawn from Psalm 119:97 — expressing their faith in their own words, in their own language.

2026 school year in review - Thank You

As another school year comes to a close, we find ourselves pausing — as we should — to ask a question that matters more than any metric or milestone. What has God been doing through Christian schools in Europe this year?

The answer is larger than any one school, conference, country, or organization. It is a story told in classrooms and conference halls, in student testimonies and teacher conversations, in policy discussions at the European Parliament and around the graveside of a faithful servant.

Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

There is a question running through every staffroom, every school board meeting, and every teacher's planning session right now, whether it is spoken aloud or not: What does faithfulness look like in the age of artificial intelligence?

Course Offering - Restorative Responses to Challenging Behavior

One of the most meaningful expressions of a Christian worldview is how we respond to challenging behavior. As educators and administrators, our responses shape school culture, influence relationships with students and parents, and reflect our core values and beliefs. This course explores how a restorative, trauma-informed approach can help prevent and reduce challenging behavior, while providing a biblically grounded framework for responding effectively when it occurs.
