Leeds33 Cross Sector Networking
Wednesday 11th February
1pm – 4pm
University of Leeds
Join Leeds33 for a subsidised cross-sector networking afternoon bringing together schools and cultural education providers to explore creative approaches to speaking and listening in classroom practice.
This event is designed as a space for shared learning, listening and collaboration. Teachers will have the opportunity to talk openly about the challenges they face when developing oracy in the classroom, share practice they are proud of, and help shape the kinds of offers that would be most useful to them. Cultural education providers will share the work they are doing across Leeds and outline the creative offers they have available — or in development — for schools.
The session includes structured speed networking to support meaningful connections, followed by wider discussion around current curriculum expectations and classroom realities.
We are delighted to welcome Adam Power-Anand, CEO of Speech Bubbles, who will share insights from the Speech Bubbles model and contribute to a broader conversation about creative oracy practice and the potential for future work in Leeds.
Each place at this event is subsidised by £100 per participant, supporting access and ensuring a balanced mix of schools and providers.
This is a networking and exchange event, rather than a formal training session, and is intended to support future collaboration and co-development.
