The Innovation In Education Festival has been designed as an opportunity to bring together education and industry leaders as we explore how we can build schools of the future, and how we can best prepare our young people for the ever-changing future of work.

​

On the 13th & 14th of Jult, 2022 we launched our first Innovation In Education on the East Coast at Brisbane South State Secondary College. Over two action packed days, we brought together over 200 teachers, educators, and school leaders as we explored what the future of education will look like for our schools and our students.

​

Throughout the festival, attendees heard from leading keynote speakers and panelists with the program featuring a myriad of topics around innovation in education, the future of work, industry innovation, and more. After a morning of keynote speeches and panel discussions, attendees will then heard from leading QLD educators in our ‘By Teachers For Teachers’ masterclass sessions that explored case studies of what innovative educators are already doing in their classrooms. 
 

As an additional element of the festival, on July 15, 2022, we brought together 80 high school students from eight schools across South East Queensland as we explored what the future of work will look like for their generation in our Brisbane Future Leaders Program. This event saw students participating in a series of workshops, panel discussions, and keynote speeches as they explored the opportunities available to them.
