2026 ECIS Leadership Conference at Lisbon – Love-Based Leadership

The ECIS Leadership Conference 2026 in Lisbon brought together educators and school leaders for three days of meaningful dialogue, reflection, and connection. From the very beginning, the tone was thoughtfully set by Kam Chohan, whose opening remarks highlighted the importance of purposeful leadership, collaboration, and community in today’s educational landscape.

As part of the programme, our Chairman, Francesco Banchini also contributed with a session titled “Love to Lead, Learn to Thrive: Purposeful Leadership Engaging Communities.” The session focused on practical aspects of leadership — building trust, creating a sense of belonging, and understanding how everyday actions shape strong and supportive school communities. More than anything, the conference reinforced the value of coming together. It was an opportunity to reconnect, build new relationships, and continue conversations that extend beyond the event itself.

At CCAAIBWS, we value these opportunities to engage, collaborate, and contribute to a global community of educators working towards more thoughtful and impactful learning environments.
