6th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
Educational Play and Art in Education and Culture
The School Life and Education Museum (EKEDISY), the Laboratory for Research on Early Childhood Psychopedagogy of the Department of Early Childhood Care and Education, University of West Attica, the Department of Educational Studies of the University of Nicosia, the Panhellenic Association of Private Nursery Schools (PA.S.I.P.S.), and the Greek Cultural Institute are co-organizing the 6th International Conference titled “Educational Play and Art in Education and Culture”, to be held online on November 1–2, 2025.
The role of play in the modern learning environment is undeniably significant. Although its importance is acknowledged in formal education, its acceptance tends to decrease progressively from preschool to primary and secondary education. On the other hand, art plays a fundamental role in promoting education and culture, creating a powerful link between the two.
The aim of the Conference is to explore the potential of educational play and art in both formal and non-formal education. The program will include keynote speeches by leading experts, presentations, and interactive workshops.
The Conference is addressed to education professionals, teachers of all specialties and levels, museologists, museum educators, librarians, students, researchers, non-formal education facilitators, and anyone interested in the Conference themes.
⚠️ The Conference will be held exclusively online.

- Oral Presentations
