Doing School Differently 2024

Doing School Differently is back in 2024!

After the success of the 2016, 2018 and 2022 Doing School Differently conferences we are back in 2024 to give you another opportunity to advance the national conversation on practice and research in flexible and inclusive education. We are excited to deliver Doing School Differently on the lands of the Turrbul and the Yuggera/Jagera peoples who are the Traditional Custodians of Meanjin (Brisbane). We recognise their ongoing connection to land, waters and community. We acknowledge that this land has always been a place of learning, and we pay our respects and acknowledge the elders, past, present and emerging.

Doing School Differently is the pre-eminent Australian conference for all educators, youth workers, researchers, policy makers and young people who are committed to developing and sustaining successful educational opportunities and pathways for young people who have experienced barriers to education.

Join us in Meanjin (Brisbane) on 20 – 21 June 2024 at the Sofitel Hotel to add your voice to the conversation.
