#Hopes4Ed Theme #01: A New Public Conversation About Education

25th November 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

HeadsUp4HTs invites you to discuss the first in the #HeadsUp4HTs #Hopes4Ed series: a 10 part events series focusing around 10 aspirational conversations for a better Education.

About this Free Event

HeadsUp4HTs invite you to join us in discussing the #NewNormalEdBook and a vision for a better Education.

This event will focus upon our #Hopes4Ed theme #01: There is a new public conversation about education: Launch a commission on the future of education and learning in England that unites the needs and ambitions of learners, educators, employers, and parents.

To tackle the challenges of the future, we need to design education systems with a broader set of outcomes that support ‘whole child’ development and help young people develop the capability to thrive through change and become agents of change themselves.

The HeadsUp4HTs community are dedicated to this! Now is the time to discuss what the future of education should look like and what needs to change in order to make this happen.

Big Change have recently published a report in collaboration with IPPR detailing how Covid-19 has disrupted learning in an unprecedented way, and how we might rethink educational priorities to build back better. This means preparing children for life, not just exams & tackling inequalities outside, as well as inside, the classroom.

We will focus our HeadsUp4HTs discussions for this event around 3 key points:

  • a conversation about how our education system can prepare children for life, not just exams
  • a conversation about where and how learning takes place – as well as who is involved in it
  • a conversation about the need to tackle inequalities outside, as well as inside, the classroom.

Let’s re-imagine and shape the conversation to collectively find the best way forward!

Join us on Zoom on 25th November at 7:00pm. The Zoom link will be emailed to you after registering for the event.
