Upcoming Webinar: Bridging the Gap – How Parents and Teachers Talk “Digital”

We are excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar in the Code4Europe webinar series.

As technology increasingly shapes our children’s futures, many of us are left wondering: How can we support our children’s digital education without being experts ourselves? And how can we make sure the educational and the home environment are on the same page and don’t tug in different directions? 

To answer this question, we are thrilled to welcome our special guest speaker, Dr. Louise Heeran Flynn from Trinity College Dublin. Drawing from her extensive expertise, Dr. Heeran Flynn will share invaluable insights on how parents and teachers can team up effectively to make digital learning a success both at school and at home.

This event is part of the CodeWeek initiative, dedicated to helping families and educators build a stronger digital future together.

A New Chapter for EPA: Strengthening the Voice of Parents Across Europe

We are thrilled to share some momentous news that marks a historic turning point for our association. As we move into 2026, the European Parents’ Association has officially entered into a Strategic Grant Agreement (SGA) with the European Commission under the Erasmus+ program.

This partnership is a profound recognition of a truth we have championed for years: parents are vital partners in shaping the European Education Area.

"For EPA, this is more than just funding; it is a commitment to growth, professionalization, and deep-rooted inclusion." 

What This Means for Families and Communities

With the launch of our new project EURO-PARENTS, we are scaling up our operations to ensure that grassroots family experiences directly inform EU policy. Over the next two years, you will see EPA transforming its capabilities:

  • Expanding our reach: We are actively reaching out to underrepresented regions and minority groups across Europe.
  • Accessibility & multilingualism: We believe language should never be a barrier to advocacy. Our website and core toolkits will therefore be available in at least 4 European languages plus Simple English.
  • Equipping parents for the future: We are delivering concrete resources on the issues that matter most to modern households - from digital literacy and AI in education to youth mental health, vocational training and education, and green skills.
  • Collecting good practices: We are launching an online EPA Knowledge Base to powerfully bring our members’ proven success stories and good practices out into the world, so that others do not have to reinvent the wheel.
  • Training more parents: We are stepping up our training delivered to members and grass-roots communities. 

Building a More Family-Friendly Europe

Our goal is simple: to cultivate a stronger, more inclusive EPA that provides invaluable resources to national communities and projects a proud, unified voice in Brussels.

Whether you are a parent looking for guidance, a national organization looking to collaborate, or an ally in education, you are part of this journey. Together, we are co-creating the future of European education.
