The Scottish Learning Festival 2011 will take place in Glasgow on Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd September at the SECC. The theme for SLF 2011 is ‘Curriculum for Excellence: Learning, Teaching and Assessment, Making the
Connections’ and the conference secretariat is now calling for seminar proposals from potential participants. The deadline for submitting proposals is Friday 4th March 2011.

Our annual conference and exhibition event provides practitioners with an opportunity to enhance their skills and knowledge to enable them to offer young people deep and connected learning that will nurture the knowledge and understanding they need for life and learning. In 2011 it will bring together examples of educational practice, leadership and management strategies from across the Scotland and beyond.

To help us deliver a high quality conference programme that showcases the work of the education sector from across Scotland, we need schools and teachers to put themselves forward. Why not think about how you could showcase your own area of work at the show? Our global citizenship team is very keen to see proposals from teachers doing innovative and engaging work with their students in areas such as Sustainable Development, Citizenship, International work, and Games Legacy activities.

Further information on the theme for 2011, along with a link to the Call for Participation, are available from the SLF website at www.scottishlearningfestival.org.uk If you would like to further discuss any aspects of SLF 2011, please contact Martin Jack on 0141 221 7423 or email [email protected]

We’re also delighted to have educators join us for the show from countries around the world. In 2010 more than two hundred international delegates participated in this free event, and we were all richer for it.

Come and join us. Nick
