Eureka 3

Overview

Education is facing a growing challenge: disconnection. Students disengage, teachers burn out, and school communities’ fracture, yet research shows that connection is the foundation of academic success, wellbeing and character. This session explores how to move beyond surface-level relationships to embed sustainable connection across classrooms and whole schools. Participants will unpack the “landmarks” of connection (relationships, belonging and meaning) and discover a practical framework for making them part of everyday practice. Designed for teachers, support staff and leaders, this session provides strategies to build cultures of trust, agency and inclusion where everyone can flourish.
