Armenian philosophical academy

International Conference “Education and Philosophy”


26–27 June 2026 • Yerevan, Armenia


The International Conference “Education and Philosophy” will be held on 26–27 June 2026 in Yerevan, Armenia, bringing together scholars, researchers, educators, and thinkers from around the world. The event will serve as a global platform for exploring the deep and evolving relationship between philosophical thought and contemporary educational practices.


In an era marked by technological change, cultural shifts, and new demands on learners and institutions, philosophy offers essential tools for reflection, interpretation, and ethical guidance. The conference aims to examine how philosophical ideas shape the goals, methods, and values of modern education — from critical thinking and human development to digital literacy, civic responsibility, and the role of knowledge in a rapidly transforming world.


With a focus on interdisciplinary dialogue, the event will highlight diverse educational philosophies, comparative traditions, innovative pedagogies, and emerging challenges at the intersection of education, technology, and society. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful discussions, share research, and contribute to a broader reimagining of education for the 21st century.


We welcome all interested participants to join us in Yerevan for two days of inspiring presentations, intellectual exchange, and collaborative exploration of the future of education and philosophy.
