SPEAKER EVENT: UNLEASH THE BEAST WED OCTOBER 10, TOOWOOMBA

A Writing and Wellbeing Symposium

I will be speaking at the Unleash the Beast Writing and Wellbeing Symposium on Wed Oct 10th.

I am excited and somewhat nervous - I admit! What will be special about this particular session on 'Bullying - Can we actually do anything to stop it?' is that as well as hearing from Tick Everett, father of Dolly Everett and co-founder of Dolly’s Dream Foundation, this will not just be a conversation. I will be demonstrating some of the techniques and tools that I use when working on these very same issues with young people in schools.

This should be very useful in progressing all our learning around this very serious issue - bullying - that not only continues in our schools, yet also too often in our workplaces, our homes and even our politics.

If you can be there, hope to see you there!

Cheery blessings,

Marg

GOOD NEWS - GOOD EDUCATION GROUP AND THE GANDHI EXPERIMENT TEAM UP TO PROMOTE GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

Press Release Melbourne, Australia - 29 March 2018 Immediate Release

In a world often faced by overwhelm and despair for our young people, there is hope and optimism on the rise.

Good Education Group is excited to announce our partnership with The Gandhi Experiment. This initiative, founded by author and educator Margaret Hepworth, is based on the concept of world peace through education. The Gandhi Experiment teaches global citizenship through Gandhian principles of non-violence, relationship building and forgiveness, to resolve conflict and build a more positive future.

Margaret has lived and taught in Australia, China and the USA, building her expertise in teenage motivation and behaviour. The recipient of the 2016 Sir John Monash Award for Inspirational Women’s Leadership, Margaret has more than 30 years of experience in the education sector, including a period as Head of Campus at Preshil School. She has published three books: Clarity in Time (2012), Collaborative Debating (2016) and The Gandhi Experiment – Teaching Our Teenagers How to Become Global Citizens (2017). Her program ‘Global Citizenship – It Starts with Us!’ has been taken into schools across Melbourne, India, Pakistan and Indonesia.

Good Education Group CEO Chris Lester believes this collaboration will be a fruitful endeavour and highlights the importance of an education beyond the text books.

“Margaret has had a long and decorated career in the education sphere and we are thrilled to partner with her as she continues her work with schools in Australia and overseas. The Gandhi Experiment and global citizenship are important initiatives for our children, creating awareness and understanding of their responsibilities in a global community.”

Margaret is also excited about the opportunities that lie ahead.

“Partnering with Good Education Group will allow for a broader scope with my work. If we look out to our big, wide world, we can see that peace and values education are much needed right now. Working with Good Education Group will grow the possibilities for what we can achieve.”

— Margaret Hepworth The Gandhi Experiment
