In the Wild Channel 4 Education's spring conference is a unique event which brings together young people, educators, policy makers, and representatives from the digital and broadcast media worlds into a conversation about the challenges and dilemmas facing those growing up in the UK today.

Channel 4 believes its purpose is to make sense of a complex world, to allow individuals to see things in new and surprising ways and to think differently. We're comfortable with new ideas; we want to take on impossible questions. We like to open up debate, not close it.

In the Wild will explore some of the defining issues facing young people as they make the transition to adulthood. Featuring a mix of presentations and provocations from some leading edge thinkers and practitioners, panel discussions and facilitated conversations, this event will explore among other topics:

Get Happy! - responding to the UNICEF report on children's well-being;
In the Wild - remagicalising the world through informal learning;
Hopes and Fears - work, rest and play with the web generation;
Alive and Kicking! - how schools are responding to the challenges of the ‘innovation century'.

The conference will also provide an opportunity to learn more about Channel 4's radical new plans for delivering its education remit, to meet the new team who will be responsible for delivering it, as well as lots of time to network, develop new ideas and have fun!

It will commence with coffee at 10.00 and conclude with a drinks reception at 5.15. To register for this event and get more information about the programme please click here.
