This forum brings teachers, school leaders and researchers together to explore the purposes of education in challenging times. It explores the shared role that schools, universities and public institutions play in advancing the aims of education within a resilient and forward-looking Australia.

Join us – Professor Frank Bongiorno AM, Professor Lisa Kervin AM, Associate Professor David Rousell, US Educator Jess Vance, ACT teachers and leaders –for a range of Q&A panels, spotlight plenaries and practical workshops to explore what the outlook for education is looking like into the next century.

Our panel of educators, leaders and scholars will consider:

- What is education for?
