Festival of Education 2020 | The future of education
2019-12-04
Every year, Wellington aims to keep building this momentum by engaging with topics that really matter and by introducing a wide range of speakers who will inspire productive debate and the sharing of knowledge about education, both here in China and internationally.
With more than 50 presentations and workshops over two days in Shanghai, the Festival 2020 will focus on how AI will transform our environment and how schools will need to rethink the ways in which they prepare young people to make the most of their academic years and life beyond the classroom.
Schools are generally behind other industries in terms of adopting technological trends, often by years or even decades. Their practices are subsequently out of date but as we all adapt to being very capable with personal technology, there is a much greater pressure being put on schools to move with the times and think deeply about how they can make the best pedagogical use of emerging technological tools.
This extends beyond thinking about the devices that pupils and teachers use. Educationalists need to be thinking about how to design new schools from the ground up to make them suitable for the integration and daily use of technology.
The Festival of Education’s presentations and workshops will also follow five further strands.
A DEVELOPING ROMANCE: Exploring aspects of the relationship between Chinese and British education
EARLY YEARS FOCUS: Dedicated sessions for Early Years educators and parents
EXPLORING EDUCATION: Sessions challenging accepted ideas and fundamental concepts of teaching
MULTILINGUALISM: Looking into the benefits and disadvantages of multi-lingual schooling
WELLBEING: An inquiry into examination stress, body image and mental health
