Whole Education events bring innovative education practice under one roof

The Whole Education network is holding a series of EXPO events this summer, bringing the RSA's Opening Minds programme together with initiatives from a range of other organisations.

No gurus and no keynotes - just a focus on innovative practice applied!

These events provide a one stop shop for school and college leaders to learn more about more than 10 innovative projects and programmes run by Whole Education partners. All projects are focused on supporting development of the competencies, skills and knowledge young people will need in the future, providing them with a Whole Education. All Whole Education projects are free, open source and adaptable to suit any school or college context.

Whole Education is a new initiative bringing together leading non-political, non-profit organisations promoting an education that helps young people to develop the qualities, skills and knowledge they need for the future. At a time when education is the subject of much political debate, Whole Education will put the case for a fuller, more rounded education for all young people.
