Talks will be led by a range of education innovators from England and abroad, including young people, teachers, academics and other change makers.
Some are innovating within the current school system, others are re-envisioning and enacting ways of educating that promote consent, democracy, self-determination and the celebration of diversity.
Evidence is clear: the English education system is underpinned by ideologies that promote coercion, standardisation and segregation. This conference will show how it is possible to do things differently.
Please join us for this event and take part in this movement.
