The CoGREE steering group came together for its first meeting in 2019 in Vienna/Austria on 14/15 of June. Delegates of all member organizations were present, among them Dr. Peter Schreiner, ICCS president. Together, they shared experiences from the European elections and how the common appeal that CoGREE made for the elections was received. Also, the participants discussed first ideas for topics for the next Klingenthal colloquy which will take place from  5 – 9 October 2020. Furthermore, the CoGREE members were very pleased to welcome a special guest, M Guy Selderslagh, the Secretary General of the European Committee for Catholic Education (CEEC). The Committee represents Catholic Schools across Europe and 29 Catholic education networks from 27 European countries are members. Learn more about CEEC on their website. Everyone was happy about this opportunity to exchange and get to know one another a bit better. CEEC will decide about a CoGREE membership during this year. All current CoGREE members agreed it would be a win for everyone involved in the group.
