EVENTS

 The TRANSFORM-iN Education organises and attends events for researchers and teaching professionals to explore the balance of conformity and transformation in schooling, including the tensions in pursuing both goals. These spaces value  uncertainty and not too quickly or narrowly deciding how to respond to such challenges. 

Latest event:    OBJECTS THAT MATTER
This  is an exhibition and workshops, at the Jubilee Library, Brighton, on Saturday 6th November 2021, as part of the ESRC Festival of Science. The exhibited objects have been chosen and exchanged by children and young people in India (West Bengal), Ecuador (lowland Chocó) and UK (Brighton). We will also be showing a short film about why these objects say something to them about their environment.

There are two workshops: 
1. A 'drop in' for children to  (up to 12). 11am-12noon.  For more information, see here. 
2. A group inquiry for young people (aged 12 to 21)   to discuss the questions that an exhibition of objects raise for how we might live sustainably across the globe.  11-12noon.  More information and to book a place, see here.
