Once again, I feel very proud and privileged that The British School, Rio de Janeiro, is hosting its 3rd biennial Education Conference in April 2019.

This year’s theme is “Think, Imagine, Inspire” and we look forward to welcoming our inspiring and creative key note speakers as well as over 15 workshop leaders.

This year, for the first time, our Education Conference will be hosted at the beautiful Barra campus of our school, in a western suburb some 35 kilometres from the centre of Rio. Throughout our 3-day conference, from Monday 15th to Wednesday 17th April, a Google Summit will be running concurrently. Additionally, during the prior weekend, on Saturday and Sunday 13th / 14th April, we are running a Google “Boot Camp” at the Urca campus and Fieldwork Education will run their South American regional conference for IEYC (International Early Years Curriculum) and IPC (International Primary Curriculum) at our Botafogo campus. So, as you can see, there are many opportunities for varied and high quality professional development and, of course, a chance to visit our very special and famous city, the Cidade Marvilhosa, as Rio de Janeiro is affectionately known.

 

We invite you to join us for what will certainly be a most instructive, thought provoking and stimulating experience, as we work with some of the world’s leading educationalists and participate in workshops with fellow colleagues from across the city and Latin American region.
