Event Details

In the Wild – well being, the web and the future of education

September 2007 2.30 – 5.30 (followed by drinks)

Developed in association with Learning and Teaching Scotland and the Centre for Confidence and Well Being Channel 4 is hosting a half day conference In The Wild as a Fringe Event at the Scottish Learning Festival.

Taking as its starting point the alarming findings of this year’s UNICEF report - which identified young people in the UK as the most unhappy in the developed world - this event will also explore the riptide of innovation which is transforming how kids engage with the media and the future of education in a world of flux.

Featuring a mix of presentations, panel discussions and facilitated conversations this event will conclude with an early evening drinks reception.

The event will also provide a first opportunity to hear about the radical new ideas being developed by Channel 4 Education.

Confirmed speakers for the event include

Carol Craig – Chief Executive of The Centre for Confidence and Well Being

Pat Kane – musician and author of The Play Ethic

Ewan McIntosh the UK’s leading education blogger

Matt Locke Commissioning Editor, New Media Channel 4

The event will be chaired by Stuart Cosgrove Channel 4’s Director of Nations and Regions

We hope you can join us for what should be a great event.
