Soul of Education - How To Deliver Person

Centered Learning

Education is in crisis. More and more young people are struggling to engage with a system that lacks personal meaning and relevance, assesses a very narrow set of competencies and does not provide them with thet skills and confidence to thrive in the 21st century.

So What Are We Going To Do About It?

We are collecting solutions and inspiration from some of the world's leading

educators. You can access their wisdom through the films that you find in our library. The collated interviews will become a film that we will share at our launch event in the Autumn.

We will be launching a series of free webinars to explore the Soul of Education and inviting you to attend face to face workshops with expert practitioners.

Date: TBC, Autumn 2011

Venue: Channel 4, 124 Horseferry Road, London

This CPD accredited Learning Festival, delivered in partnership with Channel 4, provides policy makers, academics, educators and service providers with a space to meet, learn and explore what an education led by the young person, rather than the system, would look and feel like.

Participants will be offered skills based workshops, delivered by cutting edge experts, real educators from real environments sharing “what works”. Discussions, a youth panel and open space will make sure you interact and connect with service providers and peer mentors who are challenging the established norms and creating exceptional results.

This practical, solution focused day will leave you energized, inspired and enabled to put the soul back into education.
