Workshops

The conference aims to showcase local, regional and national talent in order to prepare and inspire delegates to face impending curriculum change. Delegates will be able to choose between a series of workshops which will be delivered by practising teachers. The day will focus on practical activities and delegates will leave with lots of ideas which can be used in the classroom. Workshops will focus on a range of languages including opportunities in Mandarin and Latin. There will also be opportunities to view the latest resources and speak to publishers in the exhibition space and to meet, and network with, colleagues in the beautiful surroundings of the Nottingham Conference Centre. Housed in the Grade II* listed Newton building, the Centre offers superb facilities in a stunning architectural setting.
