The International School of Monaco (ISM) will convene top education leaders from across the globe for a two‑day conference titled Innovate • Share • Empower, scheduled for 9th to 10th January 2026 at its Monaco campus. The event promises to bring together educators from more than 100 international schools across 24 countries to explore the latest trends, strategies and innovations in teaching and learning. Organised by ISM’s Deputy Director Academic Abigail Furey and a dedicated committee of staff and teachers, the conference underlines ISM’s commitment to academic excellence, inclusivity and global‑minded education.
Innovate • Share • Empower is designed to deliver insightful, practical and forward-thinking content for teachers, school leaders and education professionals. The two‑day schedule features four keynote presentations covering crucial topics such as mental‑health and wellbeing, multilingual education, evidence‑informed teaching, and cutting‑edge learning approaches. Further sessions will cover areas as diverse as conceptual thinking, inclusive education, AI in the classroom, inquiry‑based learning and learning support — reflecting wide‑ranging shifts in modern pedagogy.
Beyond presentations, the conference will offer abundant networking opportunities, allowing participants to exchange ideas, forge new collaborations, and share best practices with peers from schools around the world.
