Conference Overview
Catherine Misson
The Centre for Educational Enterprise (CEE) is proud to present our inaugural international
conference in Melbourne on 20 March 2015.
This one day program has been specifically designed to bring together leaders in the
fields of health and education to promote discussion on the historical opportunity we
have to create a purposeful continuum of practices and provisions that will deliver a more
powerful paradigm than the present dichotomy.
We are delighted that internationally recognised researchers and practitioners will join
us for a dynamic experience, expertly convened by Jenny Brockie. Those in attendance
will contemplate the innovations and technologies that can transform health and
education services, deliberate the challenges facing reform agendas, and consider the
international movement to question the present in order to act for the future.
This Conference will be of interest to a wide range of educators, health
professionals and other social agencies. This will be an opportunity to join a
leading dialogue in the space of innovation for the future of our children and
young people.
