CLOSING PLENARY

Dorota Owen, Joan Wilmot & Robin Shohet

Northern Lights 2010 is about current Transformations in Teaching, utilising the experience and best practice of leaders in the fields of education, business & entertainment. As with the last three successful conferences, the event is designed to refresh all those involved in any form of education, including parents, by providing a holistic experience within a nourishing and supportive environment.

This year the conference aims to create a learning
community that goes way beyond schools into the fabric of society itself. It brings together local expertise and resources, as well as inspiring examples of partnerships between rganisations.At the heart of the conference are cutting-edge dynamic collaborative processes which are designed to provide individuals and groups with a renewal of energy for maximising creativity and focusing on a common purpose.

Using voice & music, systemic constellations, drama, mediation, restorative justice,Olivier Mythodrama and the magic of learning with horses, Northern Lights creates a stunning opportunity to connect with your own power as a learner/teacher/parent and return to your working environment re-inspired and reinvigorated.
