May 2009 Conference

'Revitalise teaching and learning using brain-science'
The Lowry, Salford Quays, Manchester

Learning Brain Europe welcomed 279 delegates on the Thursday and 409 delegates on the Friday. Delegates came from all over the UK and some travelled from as far as Holland and Kuwait to attend.

The speakers, especially Dr Rich Allen, Dr Spencer Kagan, Dr Becky Bailey and Rob Long received high praise and many of you would like to see them again at future events. The venue was congratulated on its location, efficiency and professionalism we hope to call this ‘our home’ for all forthcoming conferences and workshops.

Learning Brain Europe events are organised by Macclesfield and Bollington EIP who are committed to sharing innovative teaching ideas, improving the performances of all schools and enhancing the teaching experience for pupils and teachers alike.

During the conference there were talks on:

Simple Strategies to Implement the 5 Principles of Brain-Friendly Teaching
The Heart of SEAL
Creativity and Innovation
Enhancing Learning and Performance: Logic versus emotional thinking using Heartmath and peak performance strategies
Attachment Issues in the Classroom

And many more…

We are already looking at dates for our next conference and are planning a workshop in October. Information will be posted to the website in the near future.
