I'm looking forward to the workshops and to hearing the many ideas & strategies that will be discussed and debated at this event. I'm sure the learnings will have far reaching benefits to Basildon & potentially for communities all over the UK. This should be a really illuminating day.

What did the actual project involve? Where is the positive/negative/passive/active table come from? I'm sure I've seen a version of that before. Very useful for advocates of informal learning. I wonder if the author has heard of musical futures? (www.musicalfutures.org.uk) a fabulous and well-researched and developed informal learning model for schools.

Education and schools face both challenges and opportunities post-election, and Annika's article certainly helps headteachers and policy-makers find the wood for the trees.

I am constantly battling with the league table imperatives and the development of a holistic learning environment which is based on strong relationships. We do however have a beautiful new glass building which as you rightly say does not substitute for effective relationships but has significantly enhanced the learning environment and says very significantly for our community that their learning matters and that they matter.
