Session 6: Global to Local - Re-imagining school
Is the current education system bringing the best out of children who learn in such different ways?
We take a look at some alternatives. Education expert Ken Robinson explains How to escape education’s death valley, Rita Pierson suggests that Every kid needs a champion and Dave Eggers explains how the 826 Tutoring Centre has changed lives in My wish: Once Upon a School.
In Hackney initiatives inspired by Dave Eggers’ vision have been going strong for many years. What are they providing that the regular classroom isn’t?
Joining the discussion are representatives from local children’s literacy charities Hackney Pirates and Ministry of Stories.
