Every year, the OHTE organises a Conference, the main purpose of which is to present the work and reports it conducts. The event usually brings together high-level political decision-makers, Permanent Representations to the Council of Europe, stakeholders from the education field (academics, teachers' associations, etc.), as well as representatives of civil society and European youth organisations.
