We invite you to join us in Bologna for the 44th annual conference of the International School Psychology Association (ISPA) from 5-8 July 2023, to be held at University of Bologna, Italy.
The conference theme, School psychology in a changing world: Challenges to promote the well-being of school communities, is related to the ISPA’s mission to pursue the best interest of children and youth, educators, parents, institutions, communities, and the profession. The world COVID-19 pandemic is one the main challenges the world has faced and is still having expansive impacts on the social, emotional, and economic well-being of families and children, especially vulnerable groups of children and youth, and is deemed to threaten several decades of advances in global public education. The ISPA conference provides the venue for discussing the main challenges of school psychology in the next decade, encouraging collaborations at national and international levels to continuously support school communities and education professionals worldwide.
We look forward to meeting you at ISPA 2023 in Bologna
