Conferences & Networks

EREA Leadership Conferences and Events

EREA leads and hosts various leadership conferences, professional networks, global leadership programs and events throughout the year. These are run in collaboration with the EREA Governing Bodies and Edmund Rice Education Beyond Borders. 

The National Conferences offer an opportunity for broader strategic issues to be considered, professional input to be canvassed and collective initiatives to be shaped. A 2-3 day conference program includes reflection on contemporary expressions of the Charter, professional input and opportunities for sharing best practice among those in similar roles.

Information about these offerings can be found in Full of Life: A Guide to Formation, Professional Learning and Leadership Development Opportunities.
