Summer Conference

30 June 2009

 

 

The UK's education system remains in a state of contant change as it responds to new policy initiatives, the increasing demands of parents and students and innovations emerging in learning technology, pedagogy and neuroscience.

 

Channel 4 has a particular focus on 14-19 year olds and how to reach and engage them using the latest media technologies. Over the course of the last few years we have developed a series of award winning projects harnessing social media, social networking services, games and television to give young people a chance to express themselves in public, share their stories as they move into adulthood and make sense of the world around them.  

The Summer Conference bring together of 300 of the country's most inspiring and innovative teachers and educators to explore the new ideas and innovations which will shape education in the next decade

We will showcase

  • the Government's latest policy announcements, and the Oppoistions plans for education
  • how innovators in the education system are responding to these challenges, and,
  • Channel 4's exciting new education plans focusing on citizenship, science and games
