This webinar introduces the concept of leadership within Further Education and skills (FES), focusing on both student development and teacher professional growth. It offers practical strategies and reflective activities to embed leadership in everyday teaching practice and to support your journey into leadership.

Join us to explore the importance of leadership in FE, apply practical strategies to develop student leadership and connect student leadership to professional growth through practical examples of leadership theory. 

How do we introduce Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) in FE to shape a sustainable future?

Join us to explore how FE organisations can embed ESD to empower learners, staff, and communities to create positive change.

Whether you’re just starting out or already embedding sustainability into your curriculum and culture, this session will help you connect ideas to action, shaping a more sustainable future for all.
