Futureminds 34 (Autumn 2026)
In this special edition of Futureminds we report back on our Design Education Symposium.
The One Big Thing
The symposium brought together a wealth of experience and perspectives, and was made up of 16 short talks.
We recorded the talks and produced the transcripts which we can now make public.
We heard from practising teachers, subject associations, Awarding Organisations, charity leaders and others.
