This conference will discuss different learning approaches and environments in school education that support key competences development. Developing key competences for all is at the heart of the European Education Area which is a space where everyone should receive the best education, training and lifelong learning.

This means the basic skills of reading, writing, maths and science but also digital skills, languages, entrepreneurship, citizenship, intercultural skills, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity.
