Friday 17 - Saturday 18 April 2009

This conference has now taken place.

For the first time ATPS hosted this EFPTA event, combining our 8th Annual Conference with the Spring 2009 conference of EFPTA.

ATPS welcomed psychology teachers from a dozen or so European countries to the Scottish capital, including ATP members from south of the border!

This was an exciting opportunity to meet colleagues from almost all the countries in Europe where psychology is taught at pre-university level. It’s was a conference with a difference - a chance to benefit from sharing experiences and ideas across national boundaries.

The programme featured talks and workshops. Our invited keynote speakers were Professor David Perrett of St. Andrews University, and Carol Craig from the Centre for Confidence and Wellbeing - both highly-regarded experts in their respective fields.

ATPS is a founder member of the European Federation of Psychology Teachers' Associations - EFPTA - which was formed in 2004 and now has around 12 member countries across Europe.

EFPTA holds conference events twice a year in various European cities (previous venues include Barcelona, Helsinki, Reykjavik), and all members of the Federation's member associations are entitled to attend these. See the EFPTA website for more details of the Federation.

Through EFPTA, ATPS is building strong links with European colleagues.
