The theme of last year's conference - Leading Learning for a New Paradigm - invited participants to think about how we evolve our pedagogy, curriculum, assessment, pastoral care, and educational structures to prepare young people to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Building on last year's theme, the 2024 COBIS Annual Conference - Louder Than Words - challenged participants to explore and commit to meaningful action and practical steps to move the sector forward on education redesign, wellbeing, sustainability, and more.
