Date: Friday 28th June 2024
Time: 9am – 3pm
Location: Chancellor’s Building, Keele University campus.
SirTim Brighouse Vision
Tim understood the fundamental importance of students experiencing learning beyond the classroom. He had the greatest respect for young people. He believed in them, optimistic that in the right conditions, all could thrive. In this final, unfinished, project he joined that with his concerns about the climate emergency and was passionate about how that context could enhance pupils’learning experiences.
Tim’s vision was for young people aged 16-17 to be involved in an issue that was bigger than themselves. He recognised that many young people feel passionately, and are worried, about climate change and saw that as the obvious place to start a “bottom up” movement for an enriched experience.Amovement that could grow with more conferences held each year, until it built to become an entitlement for all young people.
AfterTim’s passing in December 2023, it was unanimously agreed that we would continue with our plans and aim to realiseTim’s vision with these conferences happening in June 2024. We are hugely grateful for the energy and commitment of colleagues across the country making these happen.Around 2000 young people are likely to benefit fromTim’s vision this summer.
