The Ivy House Sessions
Virtual events
Creating real change – the kind of change that effects individuals, businesses, education and society – doesn’t happen by chance.
We’re bringing together thought leaders, curious minds and critical thinkers in a virtual space to discuss the hot topics that can change how we develop each new generation of leaders – leaders we need now and in the future.
If you’re already a changemaker – or are interested to explore what it means to be one – register for one of our events below.

There is so much talk about the need for a focus on character education but what does this really mean and, how do we do it effectively?
Enabling students to thrive requires far more than a framework – it needs skills, tools, time and action. In this dynamic panel discussion, we look at the what and how of character education – focusing on how to overcome the challenges and deliver meaningful character development that sets students up for success.
This event brings together experts from the world of character education and some students who are at the receiving end of what we do. If you want to do more than tick some boxes this event will give you insight, support and advice on how make a real shift in character education.
