Mission Statement

EUROCLASSICA brings together Europe’s national associations of classical teachers to strengthen the teaching and appreciation of classical languages and cultures. By fostering collaboration, sharing resources, and promoting the relevance of the ancient world, we support educators and learners across Europe and beyond. Our mission is to ensure that Classics remain a vital and respected part of modern education and cultural identity.

Connecting Europe’s Classical Community

We unite associations of classical teachers from across Europe, creating a strong network for cooperation, exchange, and professional dialogue. Through conferences, joint projects, and publications, EUROCLASSICA enables educators to learn from each other and strengthen Classics education across borders.

Advocating for the Value of Classics

EUROCLASSICA actively promotes the cultural, educational, and societal importance of classical languages and civilisations. We represent the interests of Classics at European and international level, highlight their contemporary relevance, and work to ensure their continued place in modern education systems.

Empowering Member States and National Associations

We support our member associations with concrete tools and opportunities, including European certificates (ELEX & EGEX), summer schools, and shared teaching resources. While respecting each country’s educational autonomy, EUROCLASSICA provides a strong European platform to strengthen Classics in every member state.
