#EYP2CtW24 is in its 10 anniversary year and seeks to inform, engage and inspire teachers by providing opportunities to hear from experts, researchers, classroom practitioners, or those with personal stories – CPD you might not normally get within school provision – so we as teachers can empower our young people to change the world (their mindsets, their aspirations, their world view: their local community, or thinking even bigger – make a lasting difference locally, nationally or internationally).
We have some incredible stories and expertise to share – do sign up and join us if you can.
