2015 AATE/ALEA National Conference

This app is for the 2015 AATE/ALEA National Conference 3-6 July, in Canberra. The conference theme is CAPiTALiSiNG ON CURiOSiTY: ninggi warrguu - look and ask why - Nurturing Inquiring Minds.

‘The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind is curiosity.’ - Edmund Burke

In a context of globalised social, cultural and environmental change, and the rise of new communication technologies, English and literacy educators play an important role in guiding learners through the unchartered territory of the future and to imagine new possibilities.

Curiosity is key.

The app will assist delegates to ‘Capitalise on Curiosity’ as they explore the conference themes: nurturing curiosity in practice - nurturing inquiry through research - nurturing creativity in curriculum.

Free to download, the app is easy to use and will provide delegates with up-to-date information about the conference.
