E3 Connect March: Creating a Culture of Agency and Innovation

What is happening in entrepreneurial education nationally and globally? 

Keen to connect and learn from National and Global Entrepreneurial Educators? 

Join our monthly E3 Connect meetings to find out! 

Based on the success of our 2022 Entrepreneurial Educators Exchange (E3) Adelaide, 2023 Leadership, and 2024 Global perspectives (Tasmania) in-person events, we are excited to introduce regular events to facilitate networking and learning from educators and leaders across Australia.

The 2026 E3 Connect Series is bought to you in collaboration with the Australian Secondary Schools Principals Association as part of our two year Entrepreneurial Schools Project funded by the Vincent Fairfax Family Foundation.

The 2026, 6 part series has been designed intentionally to support all leaders and educators in levelling up their learning around agency, contemporary and real world approaches to learning approaches.

We invite you to E3 Connect - Monthly Virtual Meet-ups.
Purpose: knowledge sharing, problem-solving, celebrating, thought leadership, professional development, and community creation

A problem shared is a problem halved, a win shared is a forever bond!
