Here's book to put on your wish list - from CfLaT friend and (sometimes) visiting professor, Mel Nind:

Our WEST council discussed how small acts of kindness can spread peace in our community. The pupils collectively decided to follow the idea of Picture News and make a peace chain. We look forward to sharing this initiative across our community.

Thanks for telling us all about the Nordic countries @PamWoolner - you can stop now!

We agree! If you want to hear much more nuanced (and interesting) ideas about curriculum, including the Scottish C for E, Prof Priestley's keynote at ECER2023 in Glasgow EERA - European Educational Research Association is well worth watching - youtube.com/watch?v=a_QWly…

CfLaT's @PamWoolner is talking school buildings tomorrow Institute for Social Science NCL School of ECLS

Half term opportunity:

What an interesting blog...

Join us for a Research Tea tomorrow! 7 Feb 3.30-4.45pm: 'Climate justice education - student and teacher perceptions, and sharing resources' with Dr Catherine Walker, NUAcT Fellow, Geography Newcastle University Geography We'll be in King George VI Building, Newcastle Uni, B83. All welcome!

The next North East Outdoor Learning Research Hub meeting will take place on Wednesday 14th February 4:30-6pm at Newcastle University. If you would like to attend or connect with the Hub, contact: [email protected]

Glad you find it so useful and sorry not to have you there. See you next time!

CfLaT's Pam W has been in Belgium for an art and architecture exhibition of school space, taking part in the connected symposium addressing classrooms. Are they obsolete or strangely enduring (or perhaps both..?)?

Gabriela Heck, our 2023 CfLaT research visitor from Brazil, worked with the Great North Museum on inclusion, museum space and science capital. The research she completed at GNM has just been published in conference proceedings : iconline.ipleiria.pt/bitstream/1040… (page 21-28).

CfLaT member, Debbie Ralls, and our occasional research partner, Rosie Parnell, are both contributing to a really interesting (and free!) City Forum event this Thursday (7 March). More info and sign-up here:  farrellcentre.org.uk/explore/city-f… Newcastle APL NCL School of ECLS

Funded by the DfE, CfLaT's Pam Woolner worked with Open Lab - Newcastle University to develop digital tech ways to collect school students' views. They trialled an online questionnaire, PosterVote (pictured) and QR codes to start conversations about places around the schools.

Lots of 'talking about pictures' (thanks, Doug Harper!) at the Visually Mediated Research course we ran last week for NINE DTP - thanks to all the participants for your ideas and insights. Hope your doctoral research continues to go well!

It seems you can take @PamWoolner out of CfLaT but you can't take the CfLaT out of Pam - this looks like a distinctly CfLaT style workshop with Paula Cardellino

🆕 New research by Anja Giudici and @LucasCone3 shows how privatisation and funding shortfalls are affecting education support personnel. ⚠️ Working in public education is increasingly unattractive. Quality education is at risk! ➡️ eiie.io/3wBdjAq #GoPublic #FundESP
