Summit: Lead the Change 

 

Thursday, 1 August

This full-day program at Swinburne University will allow education leaders to engage with our international speakers and partners while formulating a tailored action plan for global competence that engages their whole school community.
(Participants are welcome to attend one or both days of programming.)

Friday, 2 August

Join us at Swinburne University for Ed Summit 2019: Lead the Change. This event will bring together global thought-leaders, trail-blazers and disruptors from the education sector and beyond to look at the evolving face of education and the role of global competence in 21st-century learning. 

(Participants are welcome to attend one or both days of programming.)

Educating for Citizenship in the 21st Century

 As education leaders it is imperative we are creating schools that prepare students for a new global society. Teaching the core content subjects—Maths, English, Science— must be enhanced by incorporating the critical global competencies needed for our young people to thrive in a rapidly changing world. 

But how would you design a rigorous model for building the requisite competencies? And which content and pedagogical techniques should you deploy to ensure students gain real mastery in these domains?

Ed Summit 2019: Lead the Change will bring together global thought-leaders, trail-blazers and disruptors from the education sector and beyond to look at the evolving face of education and provide education leaders with the tools they need to create an action plan based on best practice from around the world.

We are excited to offer you and your leadership team complimentary registration valued at $600 per person. Please use the promo code ‘LEAD’ when submitting your registration.
