Education and the international perspective

26 FEBRUARY AT 10.30 | HALL 'SPACE' 

Much of the work Marcus does takes him to meet people with completely different careers and nationalities. This becomes relevant when we consider what changes in education might be needed if the average person lives to the age of 125.  Education to the age of 20, followed by a life of working for 40 to 60 years would no longer be an option, and continual training and re-training would need to be customary.

Marcus is a founding member and director of Bryanston Square company.  He is passionate about creating better opportunities for young people and is experienced in the way teaching and learning can and does take place. He now works across the world with students of all types. Bryanston Square was recently awarded the accolade of “BSF Adviser of the Year” in respect to their work on the Building Schools for the Future project in the UK.

We will try and learn where are leaders made, through what processes and how do we fix them if they get 'broken'.
