Equality at heart of young NUT

Young teachers from all over South Wales attended the fifth annual South Wales young teachers’ conference in Swansea on 14 and 15 October.

The theme was ‘equalities’ and Show Racism the Red Card, Stonewall Cymru and Amnesty International gave presentations on classroom resources they had produced. The conference also discussed Moving into Management, presented by NUT Executive member Beth Davies, and Money Matters, covering budgeting and a guide to financial products.

The North Wales young teachers’ conference is in Llandudno on 18 and 19 November. Call Lisa Tavener on 029 2049 1818 for more details.

“ The conference was excellent – enjoyable and informative. Everything we discussed was relevant and can be taken back to school and used. I’ll definitely go again next year.” Michael Williams, Whitchurch High School
