This November Student Governors from around the country will be coming together to develop their skills and learn best practice at the Festival of Student Governance at Birminghams International Convention Centre!
Unloc in partnership with the Association of Colleges and supported by The Blagrave Trust, have organised this unique opportunity to raise the profile of student governors and train them up for their roles at the United Kingdom’s largest further education event.
The Festival of Student Governance brings together young people from across the UK for governance training that ensures they are knowledgeable, supported, and prepared for the responsibility being given to them in their role.
They’ll develop their leadership abilities and attend workshops that will focus on key skills and practical knowledge for governance. Importantly they will also have the opportunity to meet and network with clerks, principals and other student governors from around the country.
Delegates will become equipped with practical skills and knowledge, hear inspirational guest speakers, and develop abilities that will empower them to deliver positive influence and change at their college.
Our dynamic one day conference includes overnight accommodation, interactive workshops, bespoke training, inspiring guest speakers and a networking dinner.
Delegates will check into the Ibis Birmingham New Street Hotel from 5pm on Monday 15th November. At 7pm that evening there will be a networking dinner event where all attendees can meet, get to know each other, enjoy a meal and hear from our inspirational guest speakers.
The next morning on Tuesday 16th November delegates will enjoy breakfast, then head to the Birmingham International Convention Centre for a 9am – 4pm conference event, filled with engaging workshops, training, lunch, guest speakers and immersive activities.
Thanks to a heavily subsidised ticket we are pleased to offer delegate passes at £75 each. This includes the conference, all food, entertainment, and overnight accommodation.
The only thing not included is travel to and from the conference!
Delegate passes are offered on a first come first served basis. There are a limited number of places available – so if you or your student governors are interested in attending the conference, be sure to reserve a place sooner rather than later.
