VIRTUAL EVENT: Coming back stronger: leadership matters
In this forum, Professor Christine Gilbert CBE argues that the pandemic forces leaders to find time for reflection and prioritise thinking about the future.

The forum will give schools the opportunity to come back stronger by building learning about schools’ creativity in managing the disruption and complexities of the crisis into collaborative thinking, planning and action.
This event follows the Coming back stronger: leadership matters thinkpiece from the UCL Centre for Educational Leadership (CEL). The Thinkpiece identifies five leadership opportunities for building a stronger future.

- Qing Gu, Director of CEL, UCL Institute of Education.
- Kevan Collins, Education Recovery Commissioner and Visiting Professor at CEL.
