International Curriculum Conference 2022
In partnership with EduSpark
October 2022 saw the delivery of our first virtual International Curriculum Conference and what a fantastic event it was. The numbers alone are staggering: a total of 132 sessions were delivered leading to an incredible 72,366 minutes of participant engagement. Sessions were broadcast over two days and across two time zones with participants accessing from across the globe.
Our six keynote presentations, including one led by learners, were thought provoking and inspiring. With follow up workshops exploring practical application of some aspects of the keynotes, we were able to engage in genuine theory into practice.
Partner organisations, including our sponsors, delivered interactive sessions focused on some of the most pressing issues facing our learners such as mental health and well-being, climate change, resilience and sustainability.
Across our three curriculum stages: IEYC, IPC and IMYC, our school-led workshops and ICA presentations covered a truly broad range of stimulating and galvanising content.
"It was truly an interactive and interesting experience"
"There was a wonderful dialogue shared with representatives of the schools around the world"
"I found the entire conference very helpful and informative"
"Literally hours of high quality, insightful and thoughtful learning conversations engaging colleagues across the world"
