The first Fieldwork Education International Curriculum Conference (2019) will be hosted by the Overseas Family School in Singapore from 14 -16 March 2019, with this year's theme being 'Connecting Learning'. This conference will explore how accredited and member schools implement the Fieldwork Education's International Curriculum range across Early Years (IEYC), Primary (IPC) and Middle Years (IMYC).
We will hear about how schools connect the International Curriculum to their respective contexts and to an international community to enable great learning opportunities for those aged from 2 to 14 years.
