NSW Webinar Space and Entrepreneurship: Creating Thriving Schools
The LEA webinar on "Space and Entrepreneurship," proved to be an exceptionally insightful event, which looked deeply into how innovative learning environments and entrepreneurial ecosystems can ignite student success. Hosted by Daniel Levitt, the webinar provided a cohesive narrative, seamlessly transitioning through the three highly regarded speakers.
Dr. Anne Knock initiated the discussion by unpacking the critical impact of learning environments, illustrating how thoughtfully designed spaces are not merely physical structures but active contributors to student wellbeing and overall school success.
Following this, Liz Green, the 2024 Entrepreneurial Teacher of the Year, captivated the audience with her storytelling, detailing the practical and inspiring journey of building the Redlands entrepreneurial ecosystem. Her real world example provided tangible evidence of how entrepreneurial mindsets can be cultivated and sustained within a school community, demonstrating actionable strategies.
Nicole Amey, the 2022 Entrepreneurial Teacher of the Year, then offered invaluable strategies for fostering future proofed partnerships within the broader Queensland ecosystem. Her powerful message, encapsulated by the ethos that "it takes a village," underscored the important role of collaboration between educators, industry, and the wider community in amplifying entrepreneurial education and enhancing youth employability.
Collectively, the speakers explored profound interconnectedness of innovative learning spaces, entrepreneurial development, and strategic partnerships. The webinar successfully showcased that fostering student success in a rapidly evolving world requires a holistic approach, where physical environments are leveraged, entrepreneurial thinking is embedded, and external collaborations are actively sought.
