Mary Immaculate College (MIC) will host this major international education conference Revolutionising Education through Play and Voice Conference 2019 exploring play and voice in education on 5 October 2019, at its Limerick Campus. Organised by a team from MIC, Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) and University College Cork (UCC), the event will focus on the potential for “play” and “voice” to revolutionise education settings from early childhood to post-primary level. Confirmed keynote speakers at the event include Professor Laura Lundy (QUB), Dr David Whitebread (formerly of Cambridge University) and Adam Harris (CEO of AsIam.ie). A number of parallel sessions will run through the day. The event will close with a performance by the choir from Corpus Christi Primary School, Moyross, Limerick, who will perform their magical rendition of The Cranberries' song Dreams, followed by a celebration marking five years of CERAMIC (Centre for Early Childhood Research at Mary Immaculate College).
