IERG and the Learning Communities Research Area, University of Canberra are hosting the 6th Imagination and Education Conference this January. This will be the first time IERG has joined another organization to create a conference outside of Vancouver. This will be a more focused look at the use of Egan’s theories of Imaginative Education in practice, as well as other theorists like those of Rudolf Steiner– but overall imagination will be the key–which fits my research and interests perfectly.. so off to Australia I go!!

Media Awareness Network and the Canadian Teachers’ Federation are pleased to announce the second National Media Education Week this November 5-9th. Various ceremonies will be held throughout the provinces. The Pacific Cinamatheque in Vancouver and BCAME are hosting two incredible workshops for secondary students where they will meet and talk with an award-winning filmmaker, Nettie Wild as well as look at videos made by local youth.
