How can we create the conditions for young people’s minds to flourish? This is the question we'll be exploring at the Confederation of School Trusts annual conference next month. In an era marked by increasing misinformation, polarisation and uncertainty, how can we equip our teachers and students to flourish? This workshop will explore how we can teach learners to respond with curiosity, care and critical insight to the digital content and algorithms, shaping their world views, emotions and sense of self. Drawing on findings from Lyfta Education’s nationwide roundtable series, we will explore the emerging challenges and opportunities for trust-wide culture and curriculum development. Trust leaders will share practical, future-focused examples of approaches that are making a difference. Expect thoughtful discussion, inspiring stories and actionable strategies for meaningful, trust-wide impact. Time of session: Friday 17 October, at 11:05-12:05. Speakers: Serdar Ferit, Co-Founder and CEO, Lyfta; Jacqueline Waters-Dewhurst, Chief Executive Officer, Lincoln Anglican Academy Trust #CSTConf25
