44th Annual ISPA Conference

The 44th annual conference of the International School Psychology Association (ISPA) will be held at the University of Bologna, Belmeloro Complex, July 5-8, 2023. The conference theme, "School Psychology in a Changing World: Challenges to Promoting the Well-Being of School Communities", is related to ISPA's mission to pursue the best interests of children and youth, educators, parents, institutions, the community and the profession.

The global pandemic of COVID-19 is one of the major challenges the world has faced and is still impacting the social, emotional and economic well-being of families and children, particularly vulnerable groups of children and youth, and is believed to threaten several decades of progress in global public education. The ISPA conference provides a venue to discuss the major challenges facing school psychology in the coming decade, encouraging national and international collaborations to continually support school communities and education professionals around the world.
