We live in an era of convergent diplomatic, health, societal, economic, and environmental crises. Education has a critical role to play in both addressing these current crises and helping populations develop the skills and behaviors to navigate or, better still, avoid analogous crises in the future.
The Salzburg Global Center for Education Transformation supports a wide range of activities designed to help develop new approaches to critical and emerging issues in education.
We have a particular focus on education leadership, social, emotional and creative skills, regenerative education, language policy, the potential of education to create a more inclusive future, and education in emergencies. In line with Salzburg Global Seminar’s mission, we challenge current and future leaders to shape a better world where every learner can thrive and fulfill their full potential.
Since 2023, the Center has offered three annual writing residencies to support the development and dissemination of new thinking around education transformation. Our inspiring environment at Schloss Leopoldskron allows people from across the globe to work in a new setting, away from the restrictions and pressures of their everyday lives. It provides the time and space for individuals to develop their work and creatively explore new ideas.
The application process for 2025 residencies has now closed.
