How can we bring on the education revolution?
Picking up the baton from Sir Ken Robinson’s latest TED Talk, this event has been designed specifically to ask this question. We'll be taking this TEDx event to a new level by making it a call to action as well as a platform for inspirational speakers, interesting conversations and new learning. What can all those involved ACTUALLY DO to ensure that the old and irrelevant in education is thrown out? How can we build a new model of constant reinvention to ensure that education provides what industry requires and, more importantly, what young people need to flourish in today’s world?
The event at the Roundhouse will be held in classic TEDx format, with speakers talking for a maximum of 18 minutes, interspersed by regular conversation breaks.
The audience will represent much of society; people who had or did not have an education, those working within the learning sector, young people who are still at school and those within industry who have a desire to see education finally providing young people with an adaptable and diverse skillset and a passion for lifelong learning.
TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE NOW FROM THE TEDX LONDON WEBSITE AT THE EARLY BIRD RATE OF £50.
