Join Schools North East and Ednorth for the third Northern Celebration of Education: CelebrateEd 2021 which will once again take place this summer as a virtual event. Last year over 1,500 delegates joined us from across the country for a fantastic event full of collaboration, sharing best practice and celebrating the amazing work that goes on across the North and beyond.
Help us to Change the Game – join Schools North East, Ednorth and Partners to celebrate and showcase the best in classroom practice across the North of England.
Contribute as a Speaker and create a practitioner – led space where your colleagues from schools across the North will be enthused and energised, ending the academic year on a high.
You don’t need to be an ‘expert’. If you have an idea or want to showcase something that has worked in your classroom, we want to hear from you!
All you need is a passion for teaching and an eagerness to share your experience with other teachers and colleagues.
All speakers receive a full two-day event pass free of charge.
