About this Event

Decolonising the curriculum is the process of reviewing and reframing educational content to challenge the historical domination of Western, Eurocentric, and elite perspectives. It seeks to dismantle biases, include marginalised voices, and validate alternative ways of knowing.

Join us for Scotdec’s annual teacher networking event! This year, we're exploring what decolonising teaching and learning looks like for different people in different spaces in Scottish education.

Led by our Director Charlotte Dwyer, this session will feature a panel made up of inspiring folk working in classrooms and across the education sector. Together, we’ll unpack what decolonial practice is and find out how it can be woven in to different places in education - from classrooms, to local authorities, to universities.

Whether you’re just starting out or already doing this work, you’ll leave with ideas you can take forward and connections with others who are navigating similar questions.


What to expect
  • A panel discussion with people teaching and learning using a decolonial approach
  • Real examples of practice, challenges and learning
  • Time for discussion and networking with other educators
  • A supportive space to reflect, ask questions and share ideas
  • Selection of refreshments will be provided

Who is this for?

Primary and secondary teachers, school leaders, and anyone involved in education who is interested in decolonising the curriculum.


Speakers

Panel speakers to be confirmed.


Why come?

Decolonising the curriculum can feel complex - this event is about grounding it in your real practice, and reminding you that you’re not doing it alone.
