Leadership in a turbulent world How do we lead our school, staff and pupils?

We are living in a turbulent world. We face the impact of social media and Artificial Intelligence…It is evident that Christian values and norms and communities are under pressure. We and our pupils interact with the current society …. How do we deal with these developments in our schools? How can we spiritually lead our schools and pupils?

We need guidance from the Bible and the Holy Spirit. Based on this solid foundation we will centre our ECCEN 2025 conference around the following questions:

How do we lead our school as a community?
How do we lead our staff?
How do we lead our pupils to become independent people who serve God?
How do we lead ourselves as leaders?

To be able to find the answers to these questions we need to understand the time and spirit we are living in, we need to know who our opponents are, and last but not least we need to be committed to Christ!

Understanding the times and knowing what to do
Standing as Christians in a diverse and pluriform society

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.
