We received a great set of interesting submissions for workshops, symposia, and short talks! Check out the list of short presentations for the plenary session on “Psychology teaching in Europe’s schools” on Friday afternoon, giving a snapshot of developments in psychology education across Europe, and the workshops schedule on Saturday. We are very grateful for these contributions to the programme from the European psychology teaching community: this allows us to offer a wide range of topics, all relevant to the conference theme of “Why (learning) psychology matters”; presenters will be from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and nationalities, including psychology teachers, teacher educators, researchers. We hope you will find the programme varied and inclusive!

We are indebted to our Slovenian colleagues who will host the conference, and to the National Education Institute of Slovenia and the Secondary School of Nursing, Ljubljana, for their generous support. Psychology is widely taught in high schools in Slovenia, and it is one of the most popular subjects; find more information about psychology education in schools in Slovenia here.
