EFPTA Board autumn 2023 meeting was held in Edinburgh, 17-18 November
The EFPTA Board had a very productive autumn 2023 meeting in Edinburgh, on 17-18 November, hosted by the Association for the Teaching of Psychology Scotland (ATPS). We gathered first in the late afternoon on Friday at Leith Academy, a modern high school where ATPS member Simon Robinson teaches psychology. The exotic plants which adorn the school’s main corridor were a wonder to behold, resembling botanic gardens! In the staffroom, we held the usual informal pre-meeting, previewing the main agenda for the next day, and sharing national reports from 10 member countries of EFPTA.
The following day we met for the full Board meeting at Clifton Hall, the school of Mairi Rice, who is the Scotland representative to EFPTA. Board members were treated to a tour of this historic castle-like school, complete with turrets, crow-step gables and dovecot. The 14 Board members taking part in the meeting included several new and enthusiastic representatives. With three Finnish reps on board, we made excellent progress in preparing for the EFPTA 2024 Conference to be held in Helsinki, 18-21 April, to be hosted by the Finnish psychology teachers’ association.
We are very grateful to both Leith Academy and Clifton Hall School for making it possible to hold the EFPTA meetings at their schools.
