Education Scotland invites practitioners in Primary and Secondary education to share and learn:

If you are interested in developing ‘learner voice’ and ‘pupil participation’ within your classroom, school or local authority, there will be a national conference in Edinburgh on Friday, 23 March 2012.

The event will feature sessions and workshops presenting successful and effective examples of developing and sustaining a pupil centred and participatory learning environment.

Some of the main themes covered on the day will include rights respecting schools, community partnership projects, pupil councils, learner engagement with Curriculum for Excellence and peer education. The event will also provide reference to global citizenship as a theme across learning highlighting how sustainability or international education allow for inclusive and pupil driven learning experiences.

Conference presenters and delegates with a wide spectrum of experience between them, will have the opportunity for peer dialogue and networking with colleagues from different settings, local authorities and organisations.

The keynote address will be delivered by Tam Baillie, Scotland’s Commissioner for Children and Young People.

A draft programme will be available shortly, when workshop and spotlight presenters are all confirmed.
