Explore the Changing Landscape of Education with EduFest WA.
The education landscape is transforming at a rapid pace. With the fourth industrial revolution changing the way we live, work, and learn, educators are being challenged to prepare their students for a largely unknown future of work that is set to look very different from that experienced by any generation that has come before.
​
As our world continues to change, education and industry leaders continue to emphasise the importance of skills such as entrepreneurship, innovation, design thinking, and intrapreneurship. Research has shown that these skills are essential for success in the workforce, as well as for navigating an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
​
Coming to Perth in 2024, EduFest WA will empower West Australian educators to integrate these skills into their teaching practices. The event will help attendees develop a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship in their school communities, fostering a new generation of creative problem solvers and critical thinkers who are ready to tackle the challenges of the future.
​
Through workshops, seminars, and hands-on activities, EduFest WA attendees will have the chance to learn from industry leaders and experts, as well as collaborate and network with other educators. EduFest WA is a unique opportunity for educators to enhance their knowledge and understanding of intrapreneurship, innovation, design thinking, and entrepreneurship education, enabling them to teach these 21st-century skills with confidence.
To help curate impactful experiences throughout the EduFest WA program, we have assembled a steering committee of educational innovators. You can find out more about each advisory board member by clicking their graphic.
