What is ‘Learning Curves’ all about?

We have 20 inspiring events on our Autumn calendar. ‘Learning Curves’ is our way of bringing together curious minds – thinkers, artists, innovators and community members, where we will explore key themes such as AI, feminist technofutures, and decolonial education – and ask the big questions about how education can adapt and thrive in a fast-changing world. It is a space for conversation, fresh ideas and hands-on experiences that showcase learning today.
