Welcome to the Speakers page for the inaugural Spain Festival of Education, a vibrant new gathering marking the Festival’s exciting debut in Barcelona.
We are delighted to present our first programme of keynote speakers and workshop facilitators. Bringing together a dynamic mix of classroom innovators, influential leaders, policy experts, and global thinkers, the Festival offers a space to share ideas, spark creativity, and inspire change.
Join us for a day of thought-provoking content designed to deepen your knowledge and renew your passion for education.
Our first four Festival Keynotes set the tone for an inspiring and thought provoking programme. Francesca will challenge ideas of normal with her trademark wit and insight. Geoff Barton will explore the vital role of oracy and the power of speaking and listening in education. Psychotherapist Owen O’Kane will share practical strategies for strengthening mental health, resilience and wellbeing. Joining us from the United States, Richard Culatta will examine innovative learning and how to build healthy digital cultures in schools. Together, they span leadership, inclusion, wellbeing and innovation.
Our workshop speakers bring together practitioners and specialists from across education, industry and policy. Together, they will share practical insight and real-world experience across a broad range of themes.
