Values for 21st Century Education: educational leadership for a values-based future

Tuesday 29 April 2008

The Birmingham Botanical Gardens B15 3TR

Promoting a 'values' culture lies at the heart of education today if we are to build a future in which our young people can all live and grow peacefully together. Without this, we face a disjointed, fragmented and threatened future.

The key to embedding a 'values' approach to education lies with leadership - leadership of our schools, colleges and universities; our businesses; our communities; and our government.

The strategic event will help you:

  • re-connect with the fundamentals of values
  • debate ways to tackle the challenges with which we are faced in ensuring positive value sets become integral to education
  • take the lead in creating a 21st century values-driven education system.

Contributors include:

  • The Baroness Morris of Yardley, Pro Vice-Chancellor, University of Sunderland
  • Mick Waters, Director of Curriculum at the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority
  • Dr Anthony Seldon, Master, Wellington College
  • Dr Neil Hawkes, the leading and highly respected international education consultant in Values Education
  • Prof Bart McGettrick OBE, is Emeritus Professor of Education, University of Glasgow
