Welcome
Do you feel heard? This event was produced to provide an opportunity for you to be heard!
We held this online event to act as a forum for discussion about the education system, somewhere that people from all backgrounds, all ethnicities and all neurodiversities could come to make their voices heard.
We felt that a conversation needed to be had that involved a more representative group of people, not just those in positions of power who think they know. The cross-section of the education community needs to be represented.
We did this because we feel that there is always room for improvement and if anything is going to change, we need to demand that change.
The time for change is now. This is a critical juncture, brought about by COVID-19. People are reassessing processes and long-accepted 'norms' and asking how it could be done differently.

200+ Schools
Our event brought together more than 200 schools from across the UK, to discuss 3 important questions we face as we consider the opportunity we have to redesign education in the UK to better suit the needs of all stakeholders.
Our key questions are:
- What is the purpose of education?
- How do you feel about the current education system?
- What should education look like in the future?

Each school selected 4 delegates they feel represent* their community.
The four voices we felt needed to be heard:

- Employers
- Parents

*All schools were encouraged to consider the diversity of their delegates.
DISCUSSION
200+ Schools
DISCUSSION
In these challenging times opportunities for discussion, which are such an important part of belonging to society, have been depleted. We invited school delegates to commune in peer groups and discuss 3 key questions about the future of education.
We grouped peers together in breakout rooms of 6 and recorded their discussions which were analysed by our team of researchers. The findings will be disseminated to press, government and other influential organisations.
Not for profit event
Every single penny we raised went towards putting on the event, analysing the results of the discussions and feeding those results back to delegates, the press, action groups and the government.
