Your home for informed debate and knowledge: these event series brought you radical and inspiring ideas for alternative education futures, all informed by cutting-edge research and expertise.
What if...? debates series
The What if...? debates series brought together a range of commentators - academics, politicians, practitioners, policy wonks - and pushed them to bring radical new thinking to some of the apparently intractable issues within education.
This can help all of us reflect on the status quo, celebrate progress but also consider how we might change things for the better to achieve commonly held goals for our education system and what it can do for us all.
Coffee Breaks conversation series
Our Coffee Breaks conversations explored the hot education topics arising during the COVID-19 pandemic, at a time when many of us worked from home or at a distance from one another and coffee breaks and ‘watercooler moments’ with friends and colleagues became rarer.
In this eight-part series, we asked our experts to reflect on the emerging education issues causing concern for children, their families, their teachers and school leaders, and took your questions.
