HI there ! The education adventure continues in Wgtn tomorrow... Come along!

Education in NZ: stories of new and old

Intersect invites you an evening exploring education, past and present.

Renee will kick off discussing the people - Clarence Beeby, Gordon Tovey - who made New Zealand’s education system world-class between the 40s and 70s, through building a Ministry with an arts-focus. She’ll explore why and what happened, and what it might mean for us now.

Silvia presents Chalkle - decentralised education in action. Chalkle has the possibility to stimulate lifelong learning within all of us, nourish and support creativity by expanding our learning horizons.

We’ll let you ponder the question: “What could creative education look like in an age of distributed leadership?”

Southern Cross lounge, 6pm tomorrow Monday

Comment by Nick Potter on September 5, 2011 at 11:37: This group was prompted by the screening of We Are The People We've Been Waiting For for at an Intersect event in September 2011. It's here to continue any conversations on Education for the 21st Century. Anyone can add any links, comments, ideas, and reflections.
