Past Events
CELPiE Summer Symposium
Join CELPiE for a half-day of discussion and sharing of evidence-informed teaching practice on Wednesday 11th June 2025. The event has been structured around one workshop and a panel of short papers, with plenty time for discussion in the break and over an extended lunch. As part of the symposium, we would like to invite colleagues to contribute to the Inspiration Centre by taking part in our “Recording Booth” experience. Share a short, 2–3 minute ‘talking head’ video highlighting an evidence-led topic or an interesting piece of your work.
The programme for the conference can be accessed on OneDrive.
