ABOUT THIS SESSION
Listening deeply to students, we unlock values that shape flourishing learners and schools of impact. How can student voice shape the values that underpin flourishing in schools? Drawing on insights from the Barker Journey, an ongoing decade-long study that began in 2019 with a group of students in Year 3, now following them through Year 9, and concluding when they graduate in Year 12, this conversation explores the relationship between voice, values, and impact in education. Participants will gain practical and globally relevant perspectives on how listening to students can nurture flourishing learners and guide schools toward meaningful impact.
