Following the success of our Treasure Island Pedagogies podcast series, the Centre for Innovation in Education at the University of Liverpool are planning an online, open Festival that connects educators, educational developers and learning technologists across the globe.

What is the vision behind the Festival?

Evidence shows that innovation spreads at the intersection of disciplinary boundaries (Warren, 2011). By connecting educators across cultural and disciplinary boundaries, we hope to stimulate exciting collaboration underpinned by a passion for education. In this open space, educators will share innovation and co-create an imagined future of education.

What is the Treasure Island Pedagogies podcast format?

We invite guests in groups of 3 - 4 to share what they would take to a Treasure Island. The considerations are: a lightbulb moment (when you feel your students 'are getting it'), a teaching prop or a pedagogy, and a luxury item. See example conversations on the Treasure Island Pedagogies Podcast series webpage under the Episodes menu.

The event

It will take place at 08:00(BST) - 20:00(BST) on Tuesday 10 May 2022. An online, open and free event. You can join activities throughout the day depending on your time zone.

How will the day be organised?

To enable you to join in from any time zone, we will schedule 3 'repeat' sessions within the day - you can join in with one of these, or as many as you wish and able to do. Each session will last between 2-3 hours. We are still planning the event so timings may change.

1. Australasia/Eastern Asia timezone - morning starting 8.00 (BST)

2. Africa/Europe timezone - lunchtime starting 12.00 (BST)

3. Americas timezone - afternoon starting 16.00 (BST)

What will you get out of taking part?

Meeting colleagues across the globe who are passionate about education.

Sharing and listening to educational innovations and ideas.

Having space to think 'big' and consider some educational futures.

Enjoy creating and having fun.

How to register?

Please bear with us, we are still working behind the scenes.

Registration will be available soon.

In the meantime, please block your diary for Tuesday 10 May 2022 for a day of Innovation festival.

Outcomes

New connections made between educators, ideas of educational innovations shared; and in longer term: implemented, adapted, used innovation ideas with newly formed collaborations.

What support will we have available?

We are unlikely to have funding, so would need to look at using free platforms. Our Digital Resource Team in Centre for Innovation in Education will be able to support some of our activities, including multimedia support; HTML email for promotion; video trailer promotion for Twitter; banners and all potential graphics for the event.
