The New School is an education provision, shaping a new approach to education and the student experience to create better outcomes for children, teachers and the wider community, and to explore ways to expand our impact through online resources.  We collaborate with partners, including education leaders and universities, to conduct ground-breaking research that interrogates the building blocks of the current education model and explores avenues to improve it, in order to build a strong case for policy change.  And we convene interested parties from connected sectors, like health, likeminded educators, local and national authorities, and funding partners, to facilitate peer to peer learning and collaboration towards a common goal. Together, from a foundation of shared values and beliefs, our aim is to drive this movement forward and catalyse system change.

Lucy’s talk will share The New School’s latest research undertaken with University College London; explore the learning framework that has evolved from the work of The New School and open a dialogue as to the purpose and practice of education.
