Please join us for an interactive and dynamic one day learning exchange event on alternative approaches to learning in the vibrant cityscape of Camden Town in London. The event aims to provide a platform for challenging some of the taken for granted assumptions about learning as means to labour market ends and to consider alternative models and applications/practices used for the development of creativity, critical thinking and problem solving in a socially situated and empowering way. The topical themes of alternative learning approaches, assessment, learning communities and alternative education spaces will guide avenues for sharing practice and ideas.

The event will cater to a diverse audience of BERA members, PhD students, early career and experienced researchers’ professionals as well as those engaged in the practice advocacy or educational difference. All come together with a common interest. Our dynamic collection of speakers include: Professor Peter Twinning (Open University), Dr Ian Cunningham (Self-Managed Learning College, Sussex) and Professor Peter Kraftl (University of Birmingham).
