The Learning and Innovation Team at York College & University Centre is delighted to welcome you to the third Festival of Learning 2026.
Open to teachers, educators and professionals from across the sector, whether you work at York College or beyond, the festival is an opportunity to come together to share ideas, explore innovation and celebrate excellent teaching and learning practice.
This year’s festival is centred around the themes of inspiration, innovation, and curiosity. Our programme offers a diverse range of sessions led by both internal colleagues and external speakers, giving you the freedom to personalise your day and engage with ideas that matter most to you.
As education continues to evolve, from the growing influence of artificial intelligence to the changing needs of learners, the Festival of Learning provides a valuable space for reflection, collaboration and professional dialogue. It is also a chance to showcase the creativity, expertise and dedication that exists across the wider education community.
Throughout the day, we encourage you to connect with colleagues, ask questions, exchange ideas and discover new approaches to teaching, learning and student engagement.
