Educators' Day 2025: Learning and leading in times of change

This year's Educator's Day focuses on tools and strategies for managing workload, working life and well-being in the education role. How do we create safe learning environments where different opinions and values meet? We explore ways to create long-term sustainable learning environments that benefit students, teachers and supervisors alike.
