CONVERSATIONS WITH PURPOSE: NATIONAL EDUCATION FUTURES

Conversations with purpose – the 5th Annual FED National Education Summit – Big questions, bold ideas and powerful connections.

‘Conversations with purpose’ is the theme of the 5th Annual FED National Education Summit. Focused on the FED National Education Futures Projects, we will be asking some big questions as a starting point to a day of thought-provoking panels, shared conversations and strong networking opportunities.

Big questions:

• What does it mean to be a literate and numerate 21st century citizen?
• How should education respond to the industrial strategy?
• How do schools build positive models of belonging?
• How can we weave a golden thread of creativity and innovation from early years to employability?

Full programme and speaker details will be released shortly.
