Since 1991, EPA has proudly bestowed the Alcuin Award. This prestigious recognition honors the most impactful and innovative educational initiatives across Europe that champion the vital role of parents in their children’s learning journey. The esteemed award shines a light on groundbreaking projects – whether spearheaded by individuals, schools, groups, or activities – nominated either by our dedicated members, or by institutions such as Ministries of Education within EU countries or the European Commission.
The Alcuin Award is more than just a prize; it is a celebration of ingenuity and a testament to the power of parental involvement in shaping a more holistic and effective educational landscape. It seeks out projects that demonstrate originality, make a significant contribution to education by actively involving parents, foster constructive home-school relationships, and possess the potential to serve as inspiring role models for dissemination and application across Europe.
Due to space constraints, the following Hall of Fame primarily reports the Alcuin Award winners of the past decades. However, we would be remiss not to acknowledge the many other truly inspiring projects that were shortlisted and honored for their exceptional qualities – initiatives that, in their own right, would warrant recognition here. The jury’s deliberations were never easy, a testament to the wealth of parental innovation across Europe.
