SPH Lippo Village Successfully Hosts International Christian Educators Conference
08-December-2023
SPH Lippo Village successfully hosted the International Christian Educators Conference (ICEC) that took place from November 27 to 29, 2023. For more than 30 years, ICEC has been the Association of Christian Schools International’s (ACSI) premier international professional development event that encourages teachers and leaders working at member international Christian schools.
The 2023 event brought together 550 educators from 52 Christian schools worldwide. It featured engaging and inspiring keynote speakers, a variety of excellent teacher-to-teacher workshops, and networking opportunities through small group discussions. This exchange of ideas and experiences is expected to enhance the collective advancement of teaching methodologies and approaches and empower teachers to uphold an elevated standard of Christian education.
The theme of conference derives from a verse of Hebrews 10:24: “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.” Beyond a professional development event, ICEC also serves as an invaluable platform for the delegates to learn from one another at a more personal level, to grow, to love more deeply and be reminded of their specific calling as a Christian educator and leader.
Furthermore, the conference offered SPH teachers and leaders a great opportunity to foster connections — both with other SPH campuses and with educators representing diverse backgrounds and roles in Christian education from around the world. It is hoped that the experiences gained and connections forged during ICEC will serve as a catalyst for continuous improvement that will enrich the educational journey for the entire SPH community.
The three-day event also included a vibrant celebration of local culture by students across SPH campuses, who showcased their talents through captivating performances of orchestra, choir and traditional Indonesian songs.
