School Visits

A well established feature of the Montessori Europe congress, the school visits offer participants the opportunity to observe Montessori practice in the host country. Oslo offers diverse opportunities and we are in negotiation with several locations that cater for children from toddlers to adolescents. We are excited about the school visit opportunities that will be offered.

Research Working Group

Montessori Europe considers the promotion of research and connecting different educational communities as one of the important elements of its mission. In Gdansk, the Montessori Europe Congress dedicated the whole first day of the congress to the presentation and promotion of the achievements of scholars. This was very well received by the attendees and we are working on developing this further for the 2025 Congress.

Sustainability Working Group

The Sustainability Working Group continues its work on the increasingly important issues of sustainability and Earth stewardship through the children. We are very aware of the real climate and sustainability issues that our children face, and we feel a great sense of responsibility in supporting our teachers in developing more sustainable curricula.

Adolescents Working Group

Adolescents are growing up in an ever-changing and complex world. Our role is to ensure they develop the skills to become lifelong learners making informed decisions and able to positively engage with their communities. In this effort, we will continue, at our Congress in Oslo, to offer a programme for adolescents, providing a platform to amplify their voice.

Sponsorship and Exhibition Opportunities

The Oslo Congress will again provide opportunities for sponsorship and exhibition. For details of how you can support out Congress, please contact office@montessori-europe.net.
