In today's rapidly changing world, where new challenges and technologies emerge at an unprecedented pace, students need to be relevant thinkers to successfully navigate the complex social, economic, and environmental issues they will face. The ability to think relevantly enables them to connect classroom learning with real-world applications, fostering deeper learning and cultivating critical life competencies such as problem-solving, adaptability, and creativity.

Perhaps your school doesn’t have a student council, and you’ve been tasked to create one. Or you have an existing program, but it needs a massive overhaul. Either way, welcome! You’re in the right place! Even though I took over an already-established program years ago, I felt like I was starting from complete scratch.

The third running of the Practical Pedagogies conference will take place in November 2024. The first two events were rather great - one in Toulouse and one in Cologne. This event will take place in Cologne once again. The keynote speaker who will bookend the event is Hywel Roberts. He was awesome. His book 'Bothereredness' has been published since the last event, when he was sharing some of the ideas behind it, and comes highly recommended.
