From the organisations that brought you the flying high conference, the SSAT and CILT have teamed up once again to bring you the Reaching Out conference.

Help us celebrate and learn about successful, varied and innovative programmes lead by teachers in all schools.  

Hear about current best practice, and receive guidance and information on implementing the three strands of the community outreach programme: primary, secondary and wider community, including business engagement.

Who is it for?

Senior leaders, heads of languages, languages subject leaders and language practitioners, as well as those responsible for the community programme and community cohesion.

What will the conference involve?

The conference, partly funded by the DCSF, will be informative, relevant and motivational for schools wishing to address community cohesion, Every Child Matters and the personalisation agenda.

Workshops will focus on reaching out to community through languages and leading practice in developing partnerships with:

• other schools

• business and industry

• community groups

• international links

Most workshops will be led by practitioners and those leading in community outreach. Delegates will see best practice and innovation in business engagement in languages from CILT's Business Language Champions Award winners.

 Keynote speakers

• Dr Lid King, National Director of Languages, the Languages Company, supporting delivery of the National Languages Strategy for the DCSF

• Professor Itesh Sachdev PhD (Psychology), Professor of Language and Communication, Director, SOAS-UCL Centre of Excellence for 'Languages of the Wider World'.

• Mr Richard Vasey, Headteacher of Ashfield School, the inspirational winners of the first SSAT Investing in Community Engagement (ICE) Award
