Learning Together

What could adults learn from young people if they listened more? How can we work together across generations to create great learning for all? This workshop explores possibilities for inter-generational communication and how this can be used effectively in schools and businesses. It provides an example of reciprocal mentoring and challenges leaders and teachers to try ideas for themselves.

This workshop is co-facilitated by two leading learners - Cheryl and Daniel. With an age difference of over 35 years they see many possibilities for moving learning forward and sharing learner strengths. This is an opportunity to explore learner voice, to question what is happening in your organisation, to consider new ideas from diverse thinkers and to help grow the leaders of the future.
