What’s your dangerous idea for education?

Dangerous Ed is back!!! Colleges Development Network is delighted to announce that the Festival of Dangerous Ideas will run again this year from 13-21 June 2013.

This year’s festival will be launched in Glasgow by world leading social entrepreneur Mel Young.  Mel is President and CEO of the Homeless World Cup and Co-founder of The Big Issue in Scotland.  Through his experience of working with the homeless, Mel has developed his own dangerous ideas for education.

  • A walk on the wild side – an adventure through the wilderness – exploring and creating over the weekend
  • Dangerous assessment – revolutionizing marking and assessment
