Education workforce day

You’re welcome to base yourself at EdCity for the day and attend as many sessions as you like, or dip into selected hybrid sessions remotely. If you’re attending in person, you’ll have access to EdCity’s co‑working space to use between sessions for meetings, calls or focused work.

Topics will include:

• Life‑friendly leadership

On the day, the Maternity Teacher Paternity Teacher Project will also be hosting a coffee morning for parent‑educators and babies in the EdCity café. You can find out more and sign up here.
