After two successful Festival of Education events in Shanghai we now offer pupils, parents, teachers and the wider community to be involved in the first Festival of Education in Wellington College International Tianjin. The festival will take place on Monday 23rd October and it promises to become one of Tianjin's leading annual opportunities to understand, learn and question issues facing education today.

The four main strands of the Festival – learning for Early Years, Wellbeing, Chinese and British attitudes to education, and general educational inquiry – will form the basis of the event and provide broad organizational guidelines. This year, in addition to a range of exciting talks and discussions, there will be a number of Wellingten talks with education at their heart.

The festival will not only be available in Tianjin but also across the Wellington group of Colleges starting in Shanghai on the 20th -21st October, Hangzhou on the 22nd, finishing in Tianjin on the 23rd.

So, whether you are a parent, an educator or someone who is interested in teaching and learning, there is plenty on offer during the festival.  

Save the date and join us!
