Welcome from Abby Parkin
Head of Teaching & Learning
I am delighted to welcome you to the third Festival of Learning at York College. Whether you are a member of our community, a visiting guest, or a prospective colleague, your presence is truly valued, and we hope you find the day inspiring, thought-provoking, and enriching.
This year, we celebrate the themes of inspiration, innovation, and curiosity, qualities that are at the heart of great teaching and learning. Our programme brings together an exceptional array of external and internal speakers who embody these principles in diverse and powerful ways.
In a time when change continues to shape our sector from the transformative power of artificial intelligence to the evolving needs of learners this festival is a space for meaningful reflection and shared learning. It is also an opportunity to showcase the wealth of talent, creativity and dedication within our own York College community.
Please make the most of the day: connect with colleagues, ask questions, share ideas, and above all, be curious.
