IAEC 2026 Granollers

Welcome to Granollers

Welcome to the XVIII International Congress of Educating Cities

We look forward to meeting you again and sharing, as always, knowledge, experiences, ideas and values. Values that define us and that are clearly present in our Charter.

We act with the conviction that this Congress represents a stimulating challenge for our city and that is why we are building projects that aim to be lasting, beyond the month of May 2026.

We are working with the teachers of our schools and institutes and their students so that during the 2025/2026 academic year the Congress is well present in the classrooms.

And we do it with the citizens, with people and agents from all the neighborhoods. We want to reach everyone.

We have planned various activities that will allow us to ensure that the topics of the Congress are those that articulate conversations, reflections, creative proposals...

From day one we have been mindful of the legacy we want to leave in the city. And we persist.

Friends, we work every day so that next May everything is ready. Everything in its place.

We feel the desire and excitement to welcome you "home".

We work to create the conditions that make a productive and useful meeting possible and that allow you to live memorable experiences.

We are waiting for you.
