Duration
4.30-6.30pm

Join us for an exciting evening event at The English and Media Centre’s new offices in Waterloo. This is a great opportunity to share good practice, get some new ideas and meet like-minded Media Studies and Film Studies educators.
We are bringing together teachers from our EMC and Goldsmiths networks to share lesson ideas and resources. Maybe you want to see how other schools approach set texts, you might be stuck in a rut with your NEA or practical work or perhaps you’d like to see what other specs and courses look like in the classroom and talk to other teachers about media and film teaching in their schools. 

Please note: this free after school event takes place from 4.30-6.30pm.
