Learning Places Scotland - Connecting Learning Environments with Learning Experiences
14-15 November 2023 | SEC Glasgow
The 6th edition of Learning Places Scotland will take place this November, in partnership with the Scottish Government. It is the only event to focus specifically on Scotland’s learning estate, from early years through to further and higher education. This year, a new event will be taking place alongside Learning Places Scotland – EdTech Scotland – an exhibition and conference dedicated to in-class educational technology.
This year’s conference will be held under the title ‘Connecting Learning Environments with Learning Experiences’ and covers the following five themes: Suitable, Sustainable Estate, Low Carbon, Inclusive Growth and Digital. Over 100 expert speakers will be discussing the features of a modern educational setting, giving real-life examples of how to overcome challenges and offering an insight into the future of the learning environment in Scotland. Jenny Gilruth MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills will be addressing delegates on Day 2. Other highlights include sessions such as ‘Addressing an aging education estate to meet its zero carbon agenda’, ‘A fresh air approach to delivering learning environments’, ‘Does it matter what students think of their school environment?’ and ‘Online security and digital safeguarding’.
