ACT Teaching Citizenship Conference
Bringing together teachers, practitioners and supporters to explore, amplify and exchange ideas that support high-quality Citizenship teaching.
Our annual conference centres around a theme that allows participants to explore a wide range of topics and establish clear links and practical outcomes that can be used in the classroom. You’ll leave with resources, lesson plans, fresh ideas and a revived vigour for the subject!
Our annual conference is also a great opportunity to celebrate our subject and come together as a community to explore new ideas and form relationships, including national and local organisations that can continue to support your teaching after the event.
Fabulous opportunity to stop, think and engage. Thank you!
