About
Celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the European School System
In the world of European education, the European School System is synonymous with excellence and quality. Established 70 years ago, the system has remained committed to offering high-quality education to its students. To celebrate this momentous occasion, the Schola Europaea organizes the SE+ED 27: Education to the Power of 27 conference in the ES Luxembourg 1. The aim of the conference is to bring together all 36 European Schools to celebrate the European School System’s achievements and discuss the way forward.
Keyspeaches, panel discussions and video interventions will take place under the title THE EUROPEAN EDUCATION AREA AND THE EUROPEAN SCHOOLS.
The European School system has come a long way since its founding in 1953, but the focus on multilingualism and European cooperation remains strong. With its unique approach to education and emphasis on diversity, the system continues to prepare students for success in an increasingly globalized world.
The European School system has a significant impact on European education. It has contributed to the development of a European identity, where people from different countries can come together and work towards a common goal. This sense of unity and cooperation is vital in today’s world, where globalization has brought people closer than ever before.
Congratulations to the first European School, ES Luxembourg 1 and the whole ES-system on its 70th anniversary, and here’s to many more years of excellence in education!
Let’s celebrate together!

THE EUROPEAN EDUCATION AREA AND THE EUROPEAN SCHOOLS
Conference for the 70th anniversary of the European School System and the European School Luxembourg I
The conference is a one-day event with a variety of speakers from the world of education and the European Schools: EU-Commission, OECD, OSG, teachers, students, parents, directors and alumni.
The conference showcases a selection of the European Schools’ best educational practices, ideas and talents.
The conference features a series of keynote speakers, panel sessions, and a fair. These sessions will focus on a wide range of topics, from the history of the European School System to the challenges of modern education. The conference will bring together over 400 delegates, including teachers, students, and alumni. The diverse group of attendees allows for a rich exchange of ideas and insights.
One of the key themes of the conference is the role of the European School System in shaping the future of education. Several keynote speakers will highlight the system’s success in fostering multilingualism and multiculturalism. The European School System’s unique curriculum, which includes the study of several languages and cultures, helps to prepare students for life in an increasingly globalized world.
Another topic that garners significant attention is the use of technology in education. While technology offers numerous opportunities to enhance learning, it also presents challenges such as cybersecurity and data privacy concerns.
In addition to the keynote sessions and panel discussions, the conference also features a fair that shows the strength of the individual schools in the European Schools network.
