actively support their learning and constantly improve our teaching practices.

 

This year’s conference features an exciting array of speakers, each with one of the keys needed to ensure successful learning.

Personal value topics include learning about the nature of discrimination, turning conflict into opportunity, building resilience and learning to do the right thing.
