For Heads, Careers Leaders and Advisors: Compassionate and Sustainable Education in Practice.

Canterbury Christ Church University invites heads, careers leaders, and advisers to our School & College Leaders and Advisers Conference on Wednesday 25 February at our Canterbury campus.

This year’s conference focuses on supporting compassionate and sustainable education — exploring how schools, colleges, and universities can work together to create inclusive, resilient, and future-focused pathways for young people.

The event will provide:

• practical insight into supporting student wellbeing, aspiration, and progression
• perspectives on building sustainable approaches to widening participation and guidance
• opportunities to share practice with peers across the sector
• direct engagement with CCCU’s outreach and recruitment specialists

If you are shaping the strategic direction of careers education, student support, or progression pathways, this conference offers valuable insight, collaboration, and impact.

Alongside networking opportunities, a marketplace and chance to tour our Creative Industries and STEMM facilities the conference features keynote speakers and a range of interactive workshops and round table discussions.

"This was an amazing conference with a great mix of speakers, sessions and marketplace. The opportunity to network was so valuable and it really gave me useful thinking time away from school. Thank You"
