Dublin (Ireland), 16th to 19th September 2024
In September, OIDEL had the honor of participating in the prestigious New Direction Academy. Organized by New Direction, the think tank of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR), this four-day event brought together a new generation of students eager to engage with innovative ideas in culture, politics, economics, and fundamental rights.
The Academy featured high-level speakers and experts addressing key contemporary issues, with topics such as:
• Educational Freedom in Europe
• Europe’s Place in the World
• European Conservatism after the Elections
During this year’s Academy, OIDEL took center stage to present the Freedom of Education Index, offering valuable insights into the state of educational liberty across Europe. Ignasi Grau, representing OIDEL, also moderated an engaging debate, alongside Patrick Coyle, Vice President of Young America’s Foundation, and Dan Pitt, Research Fellow at the University of Buckingham. The discussions were lively and thought-provoking, focusing on the challenges and opportunities for educational freedom in Europe.
