Current conversations

National Symposium

• Tuesday 1st April 2025
• Venue: Cardiff City Stadium

This national symposium will showcase the innovative work of schools across Wales in realising the new Curriculum for Wales. Join us to explore how practice is changing in schools across Wales who have been exploring curriculum realisation through the Camau i'r Dyfodol research project.

What will those attending get out of the symposium?

• Discover practical examples and stories from schools that are moving curriculum design towards a process approach in realising Curriculum for Wales.
• Learn about the three "movements" of the process approach: understanding "worthwhileness", developing engaging pedagogies, and implementing meaningful assessment.
• Discuss real-world experiences and shared challenges with colleagues from across Wales.
• Gain valuable insights from the Camau i'r Dyfodol research team, including key findings and practical resources.
• Network with fellow teachers, researchers, and policymakers to build connections and foster collaboration.

Whichever part of the system you are involved in, the reflections and sharing from these schools will give you opportunity to share practice and be part of the wider discussion, through workshops and presentations reflecting the 3 areas Camau I’r Dyfodol has been supporting schools with:

• how to centre your planning for learning and teaching around the idea of ‘worthwhileness’
• pedagogies, activities and experiences
• assessment and learner progression

The event will also include presentations from the CAMAU project team to provide context, research findings and further information.

Literacy and Numeracy

An opportunity for practitioners, settings and leaders to come together to discuss and explore approaches to Literacy and Numeracy learning, teaching, and curriculum design.

Drawing on the support that the Welsh Government has announced for these key priorities, this conversation will be an opportunity to reflect with other practitioners and senior leaders on the challenges and barriers to supporting learners' literacy and numeracy development, highlight effective practice in overcoming these, and help shape the support offered to schools, supported by inputs from experts and the inspectorate.

We look forward to welcoming you to the National Network Conversations this academic year.
