The programme for the Scottish Learning Festival 2011 has been published online, and potential visitors can check out the range of presentations, seminars, school showcase sessions, and side events. The conference programme is complemented as usual by a big exhibition featuring providers of commercial and non-for-profit services for educators and pupils.

This year the key theme for the festival is “Curriculum for Excellence: Learning, Teaching and Assessment, making the connections”. There is a strong showing for Global Citizenship, with practitioners and development officers leading sessions on citizenship, international education, and sustainable development. For example, there are seminars on Climate Change, Games Legacy, Rights Respecting Schools, and much more.

In the Exhibition Hall, there will be a Global Village stand, and our Global Citizenship team will be delighted to talk to teachers and visitors who drop in to find out more about activities in schools and the support we can provide. Come and join us at the show!

The event will be taking place at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre in Glasgow on Wednesday 21st and Thursday 22nd September 2011. We’re expecting thousands of Scottish education professionals to join us, and we will also welcome several hundred international visitors who come to explore aspects of Scottish education policy and practice. An international reception on the Wednesday evening provides an occasion for networking between overseas visitors and Scottish staff.

Come and join us !
