_____
The NSEAD National Art and Design Education Conference took place on Thursday 19 June 2025 and explored the theme, Designing a learner-centred & contemporary curriculum.
A key event in your calendar, the NSEAD conference is your opportunity to keep up to date with the latest developments for our subject, connect with others and exchange ideas.
This year, the programme combined inspiring presentations with the latest research and information to help you to design a learner-centred and contemporary curriculum. Workshop sessions provided an active space for delegates to develop their own professional practice, with learning that could be taken directly back to the classroom.
For those unable to join us on the day, we are pleased to offer this catch up pass to access recordings of the conference sessions.
