On 20 November 2026, Brussels will host the European Education and Skills Summit, focusing on schools for tomorrow in the age of artificial intelligence. The event at Tour & Taxis will bring together institutions, education communities and civil society organisations.
Topics and how to follow
The programme focuses on basic skills, support for teachers and digital transformation. Interactive spaces will showcase teaching practices, technologies and European projects.
Plenary sessions will be streamed on the official event page without registration. Schools and public bodies wishing to follow remotely can consult the programme and Commission updates.
An opportunity for schools and local communities
For Focus Europe ETS, the summit agenda offers an opportunity to connect European discussions with the needs of education communities. School innovation also involves bringing students, teachers, local authorities and associations into dialogue, strengthening participation and understanding of European institutions.
Public bodies and schools interested in European citizenship education can explore Discover Europe and engage with the Focus Europe network. Defining learning objectives, participants and forms of involvement together can help shape initiatives suited to local needs.
