ATEE in Action: 6-Month Progress Report - Part 1

Dear Members,

We hope you had a restorative Easter break! As we move into the second half of our landmark 50th year, the Administrative Council (AC) is proud to share a report on the significant progress made in expanding ATEE’s activities. To ensure the association remains agile and impactful, the AC has held one intensive meeting each month since October, focusing strictly on strategic growth and member value.

  1. Scientific Excellence in Action The start of 2026 has been academically vibrant. In February, we successfully hosted the webinar “50 Years of ATEE: Bridging History and Innovation in Science and Mathematics Education.” This momentum carried directly into our Winter Conference in Braga, Portugal, where we explored “Science and Mathematics Education in the Digital Era” with a fantastic turnout of global experts.
  2. Looking Ahead: Białystok 2026 The energy is now shifting toward our Annual Conference at the University of Białystok, Poland (25-28 August 2026). The theme, “Crossing Borders With and In Teacher Education,” promises a profound exploration of our field's evolving boundaries. We encourage you to register soon and join us for this historic 50th-anniversary gathering here

Professionalizing our Association: We’ve finalized essential governance documents, from new Role Descriptions and Travel Policies to a formal Code of Ethics. We are building a modern, transparent, and highly active ATEE for the next 50 years.

Stay tuned for our next week update, where we will share exciting news regarding new global alliances and EU project opportunities!

Warm regards,

The ATEE Administrative Council

Webinar Invitation: Building Student Resilience Against Disinformation

As educators, how do we help our students navigate a digital world where AI-generated content and complex geopolitical narratives are the new norm?

We invite you to a specialized training session on April 29 from 10:00 to 11:00 AM, led by Elina Kuokkanen, Project Manager for Beyond the Horizon.

While fact-checking remains a vital skill, the volume of modern data makes manual verification of every claim impossible. This webinar focuses on resilience-building strategies, combining digital hygiene with subject-matter expertise to help students become discerning media consumers and ethical content creators.

Key Topics Include:

  • Global Information Operations: Understanding the strategy behind large-scale state-sponsored campaigns.
  • Disinformation & Climate Action: Deconstructing the myths designed to slow down environmental progress.
  • The AI Impact: Recognizing how Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the production and spread of false narratives.

By the end of this hour, you will gain a deeper understanding of modern manipulation tactics and actionable techniques to help your students build a "digital immune system."

Event at a Glance:

Equip yourself with the tools to lead an informed classroom. We look forward to seeing you there.

Webinar: EAEA and SOLIDAR+ - bridging practice and policy in adult education

We are glad to share with you all the invitation to join an engaging two-part conference that bridges practice and policy in adult education, co-organised by EAEA and SOLIDAR+.

The Conference will take place online on Tuesday 12/5 from 9h30-13h (CEST), and it will conclude the ENHANCE Project, which developed several resources for putting learners voices at the heart of education.

The first part of the Conference, ENHANCE in Practice (9h30-11h05), will invite participants to explore key project outputs through hands-on group sessions, including the ENHANCE Matrix and its good practices, and the Podcast Series, amplifying learner voices that are too often absent from formal documentation.

The second part, From Voice to Policy (11h30-13h), will focus on systemic change, featuring a roundtable with EU policymakers on how to better embed learner participation in adult education governance, building on the ENHANCE Roadmap and Mini Booklets.

OECD Report: Co‑ordinating the use of digital tools at the school level

The responsibilities of school-based ICT coordinators have shifted significantly, moving far beyond basic technical troubleshooting and hardware maintenance. In the modern era of pervasive digitalization, these professionals now manage a sophisticated array of strategic tasks to drive the meaningful integration of technology in the classroom. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of this role, various global education systems are adopting collaborative, team-centric models to better address the diverse digital requirements of schools. This Working Paper synthesizes contemporary research to examine how different jurisdictions are empowering and structuring effective ICT coordination.
