In the planning for the Learning Choices Expo 2006, the Dusseldorp Skills Forum has set itself a few very high bars to jump. We want the 2006 Expo to be even better than our first attempt in 2004 to provide a gathering place for people who share a passion for creative and inclusive learning.

This time we want to do more than showcase some 20 of the best Australian and international programs emerging from diverse learning settings; we want to drill down into what makes these programs tick, to reflect and comment upon what the teams of young people tell us about these programs in their presentations.

This time we want to provide an opportunity for those practitioners participating in the Expo not just to share their experiences and knowledge of what’s happening now, but to toss round ideas, to debate and even to dream a little about what might be possible in bringing learning alive.

This time we really wanted to break new ground when it comes to the more formal content - so we’ve gone out and commissioned new research and we’ve dug deeply into what’s on offer not just in Australia but internationally. The line up of keynote speakers, presenters and panellists at Learning Choices Expo 2006, though still to be confirmed, looks set to have you talking and leave you thinking. (more)
