Registration OPEN for the 6th Regional Day Out, Melbourne

26 Sep 2018

Explore best practice and future trends in inner urban learning at the 6th Regional Day Out.

Join us in Melbourne on Friday November 16 to drill down into the rise of Inner Urban Learning Environments.

In light of vertical schools, higher education and corporate learning settings gaining prominence in inner urban areas, what strategies can best support learning in Australia’s largest cities and regional towns?

And with rapid urban intensification placing pressure on educational facility provision, what knowledge can be gained from recent initiatives, including recently built learning environments in inner Melbourne?

Tours include South Melbourne Primary School, LCI Art & Design School, Arts West
