Not just to educate and re-skill our students and communities\, but to also build a better post-covid world for ourselves. What tools does education give us to build a better future? Education is not just something that happens in the classroom\, but the ideas we learn there can help. In this session we want to explore the role of activism informed by feminism\, economics\, urban geography\, and decolonisation have to transform our knowledge and transform our communities and society and build for a better future. \n7.00-7.30: \nA new deal for workers  \nDave Ward (CWU) and Jo Grady (UCU) \n7.30-8.00: \nJail Guitar Doors Music featuring Billy Bragg \nChair: Janet Farrer\, UCU president-elect \nBilly Bragg and Justin Boreland will discuss the importance of music in prisons and UCU’s joint initiative with Billy\, Jail Guitar Doors Music \n8.00-8.50: \nEmpower and Educate: delivering social justice \nChair: Jo Grady \nFaiza Shaheen\, Sonia Adesara and Gary Younge \nEducation develops people’s capacities\, challenges them\, communicates values\, and creates lifelong opportunities. It is a source of dignity and community. But the system we work and study within is eroding those ideals. Much like healthcare\, education is being turned into a dysfunctional consumer market\, and the people who provide it into a cost to be minimised. But students are not units of production for the workplace.  And education is not a product. In this session we will explore what is education for? Is the current system maximising social or even economic progress\, Who is the current system actually working for\, and what type of post 16 education system delivers social justice while educating the public to flourish\, and creating a working environment that is healthy for staff. \n8.50-9.00: Summary and close with Jo Grady.
