Heads up for an interesting event I'm appearing at next month, called In The Wild: Well being, the Web and the future of Education, on 10 May 2007, organised by Channel Four Education. Here's the blurb:
... A unique event which brings together young people , educators, policy makers, and representatives from the digital and broadcast media worlds into a conversation about the challenges and dilemmas facing those growing up in the UK today. In the Wild will explore some of the defining issues facing young people as make the transition to adulthood.
Featuring a mix of presentations and provocations from some leading edge thinkers and practitioners, panel discussions and facilitated conversations this event will explore among other topics:
Get Happy! - responding to the UNICEF report on children’s well being
In the Wild – remagicalising the world through informal learning;
Living Online – work, rest and play with the Web generation
Alive and Kicking! – How schools are responding to the challenges of the ‘innovation century’
