TRANSFORMATION
At our conferences we teach for transformation of the individual and for society to move towards peace with God and for the world through Jesus Christ. Participants have shared many stories of transformation (read stories).
ENCOURAGEMENT
Our main focus is on encouraging followers of Jesus Christ to live out their faith in an authentic and responsible way. One way is through ‘Sheep Posts’, short, encouraging emails for Monday morning which you can subscribe to.
EQUIPPING
Our conferences are dedicated to training people to develop as teachers with a Christian perspective. See the many topics of conferences since 1991. We provide articles and book reviews for the same purpose.
NETWORKING
We work with and promote other organisations in the same field, contributing to a network of encouragement among Christian teachers and schools. See our list of links to such organisations.
VOICE
We pick up on current topics and raise a voice for Christian educators. We meet annually with EU parliamentarians, and the „Prague Declaration“ has helped in many countries.
UNITY
Christian teachers of many denominations and countries, ages, schools and settings gather in our annual conferences. Participants gain courage to see diversity in their schools as an opportunity to practice unity.

The Prague Declaration
In 1997, EurECA expert pedagogues met together in Prague to formulate a declaration on Christian education and the role of Christian educators in Europe. This document is known as The Prague Declaration. It has helped ever since for educators and politicians across Europe and beyond, to understand the role and scope of Christian pedagogy today.
