We are excited to welcome four high- profile keynote speakers who will focus on ‘Compassion’ as the key to developing better individual and collective wellbeing within our schools and within society.
Our programme aims to highlight the challenges facing us all in a post Covid world and to reflect on how empathy, kindness and compassion have become more important than ever.
Each of our speakers has a valuable message for pastoral leaders, teachers, parents and indeed for anyone who plays a role in supporting and empowering young people.
