Expertise on-demand
The EDUCATE webinars started life as a way to get expertise and understanding to where it's needed most, keeping those in the Golden Triangle who build the EdTech, and those who use the EdTech, informed, and joining them up with the people who research whether the technology works or not. Our first webinar series was on AI Readiness, and our current series is on Education Reform. Several of the EDUCATE Team have also lent their expertise to other organisations' talks and we have created a library below for you to view.
Webinars

The Education Reform Series
Our ongoing monthly series on the possibilities of education reform, chaired by Lord Jim Knight and featuring a rotating cast of experts from across the educational ecosystem.
