EUPeace Teaching Europe Conference 2026 to Explore Sustainable Futures

The third annual EUPeace Teaching Europe Conference will bring together educators, researchers and students at the University of Mostar on 16–17 November 2026. Under the theme “Sustainable Futures”, the event will explore innovative approaches to sustainability education and the role of teaching in shaping a more sustainable Europe.

On 16–17 November 2026, the University of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina will host the third annual EUPeace Teaching Europe Conference under the theme “Sustainable Futures”. Bringing together perspectives from across academic disciplines and educational levels, the two-day event will focus on how sustainability can be communicated and taught effectively, empowering individuals to address today’s interconnected challenges. The conference will also be accessible via livestream.

Rethinking how we teach sustainability

How can scientific knowledge about sustainability be communicated and taught in ways that are accessible, engaging and relevant to different audiences? This question lies at the heart of this year’s Teaching Europe Conference.

Rather than focusing primarily on the scientific dimensions of sustainability, the conference will examine approaches to communication and education, highlighting the importance of both what we teach and how we teach it. Particular attention will be given to how sustainability education can empower individuals to become active agents of change and navigate interconnected challenges relating to peace, justice, ecological coexistence and sustainable development.

Bringing together perspectives from across academic disciplines and educational levels, the conference will address a broad range of topics, including climate science, biodiversity, renewable energy, sustainable innovation, social inclusion and peacebuilding. A central objective is the co-construction of a Blueprint for Teaching a Sustainable Europe, encouraging the exchange of ideas and approaches to sustainability education.

Join the conference online

Those unable to attend in person will have the opportunity to follow the conference via livestream. Whether you are interested in innovative teaching approaches, sustainability education or the wider role of education in shaping Europe’s future, you are invited to follow the event online.
