Futureproofing Education
Following two years of disruption in schools, we’re bringing together education pioneers to imagine the creative, bespoke settings needed to support young people. Chaired by Gerald Richards, CEO of Superpower Agency, our panellists include founder of The Black Curriculum campaign, Lavinya Stennett; Emma Easton, school manager at The Spartans Alternative School and Ian Midwinter, CEO of Scran Academy - all partner organisations from Citizen, our communities programme. Also joining the discussion is Alexander Boys, a young former member of our community writing group The Citizen Collective. Find out more about Citizen: ontheroad.edbookfest.co.uk
