In an increasingly polarised world, education offers a unique opportunity to build community, safety and reduce risk of marginalisation. Following from last year's event which focused on a system of belonging as a foundation for inclusion and success, we look at the role of identity, language and critical thinking to help school leaders, teachers and our young people take a different look at the world around us.

 

We'll consider the impact on young people of searching for identity in groups when they feel they don’t belong elsewhere.

 

Who is it for? The conference is open to all adults working in education or educational psychology who can impact the lives of young people, families and communities.

 

What will we cover? Throughout the day we will spotlight some of the ways children and young people are at risk of marginalisation and the impact on life chances. Sessions will be practical and theoretical designed to help you make a difference in your settings and for you to leave feeling empowered and hopeful.
