Square Pegs, cultural competency and the ancient roots of schooling
Description
Did you know that schooling is almost 5000 years old? It’s an institution that is grounded not in evidence or science but myth, religion and dogma. What impact does this have on our capacity to educate young people in a way that responds to their individual and collective aspirations?
This talk will explore: the deep history of schooling; how we can engage with young people and families in authentic, culturally competent ways and how to build ways forward together.
It’ll be a solutions focused exploration of the challenges facing us all in thinking about the education and nurture of children and young people.
Part of the LearningPlanet Festival, where thousands are joining in person and online to celebrate education, collaboration, and learning for a better future.
