Unity Research School is a proud partner of the International Festival of Learning East at West Suffolk College on 28th June, 2019
The Eastern Region’s largest event for teachers, education leaders and business. Join us at #ifleast www.ifleast.org @West Suffolk College
The IFL is more than a one-day event. It’s a movement of interconnected people and organisations – all with a common aim – to improve education for the long-term. Underpinned by the Pearson research report – The Future of Skills 2030, the 2019 festival is focused on ‘Human Skills in a Technological World’ and embraces the DfE challenge to the tech industry to ‘revolutionise education’, whilst empowering the uniquely human skills that computers can’t replace. Managing workload; teacher-training; teaching practices; lifelong learning; re-imagining assessment and of course, leadership – to ensure the strategic and ground-level upgrading of education towards 2030.

THE SIX TECH CHALLENGE AREAS
The ‘Six Challenge Areas’ draw inspiration from an announcement in August 2018 by Education secretary Damian Hinds, who issued a challenge to the technology industry – to bring about a “step-change in education”.
“We are proud to be hosting an incredible range of professional development and international insight for thousands of education professionals on 28 June 2019. But, this is much more than a one-day event – it’s an ongoing movement; a growing collective of professionals, volunteers and organisations who are passionate about education. Our intention is to empower all education sectors to confidently tackle the big issues, to collaborate, and to share research and evidence-led practice for tangible on our learners.”
ABOUT IFL EAST
The International Festival of Learning is more than just a one-off festival…it’s a movement of interconnected educators and businesses, aligned with the same mission.
Founded in 2016 with a successful pilot, the festival has grown in size and status – and now commands one of the top spots in the UK education calendar.
IFL East (International Festival of Learning) is a large education to business festival for education leaders, teachers, lecturers, support staff and business-people – hosted at West Suffolk College (one of the most successful colleges in the UK). This year in April, 1300 people were involved in IFL East, and we are expecting this number to rise to between 1500 and 1800 for the June 28, 2019 festival. A short video of the festival can be seen here or on the website.
