SHAPE THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
There’s a progressive movement underway in education, and many future-focused designers have been adopting a stance of “YES!": YES to transformation. YES to experimentation. YES to designing and innovating new pathways and approaches to support all students.
The NESA 2024 Learning Futures Summit (#LFS24) is a collaborative learning experience focused on the positive transformation of school. Connect, learn, and grow as we shape the future of education together!
The Learning Futures Summit has been relocated from Cairo, Egypt, to Athens, Greece. We are committed to providing a seamless and exceptional NESA professional learning program, and look forward to welcoming you to Athens for an inspiring and successful LFS.
