Conference Topics & Guidelines:
Do you have an idea to present on how we can make better use of our existing estate, or how new schools can deliver more for their communities? Are you an educationist who has a story to tell or a student with a vision to share? Everyone is welcome.
Proposals could be based on initiatives within Scotland or further afield. They may relate to completed projects, newbuilds, refurbishments/reconfiguration of existing buildings, outdoor improvements or temporary buildings, digital platforms and innovation, concepts in development, place based approaches to learning and community resilience, or potentially academic and technical research.
Proposals may have a building component but could also be related to activities and practices which support the theme.
Proposals are particularly welcome from anyone including children and young people, educators, building operators, design consultants, contractors, academics or the wider community.
Challenge and vision are welcomed, as is sharing of lessons learned and experience of good practice.
These could relate to any part of the learning estate from early learning and childcare through primary, secondary and ASN schools, or into colleges, universities, vocational learning, partnerships, apprenticeships, CLD (Community Learning and Development) and beyond into other work or community spaces.
