On 6 October 2025, the STONE-MASTERS project team organised an educational conference devoted to teaching Latin epigraphy. Dr Marina Bastero Acha played a leading role in the conference. Participants from various academic institutions in Europe shared their experiences in teaching, digital processing of inscriptions and their use in working with children, youths in primary and secondary schools, young adults and students.

The programme included presentations on epigraphic narrative, school education and strategies aimed at a wide audience, as well as a panel discussion. The conference was opened by Krystyna Stebnicka’s paper on the teaching traditions of the Department of Ancient History of the Faculty of History at the University of Warsaw, with particular emphasis on the foundations of the Department’s traditions laid by Prof. Iza Bieżuńska-Małowist and Prof. Ewa Wipszycka-Bravo.
