The 2027 ECW Educators Festival is a relaxed, outdoor day of quality professional learning, set in the beautiful bushland of IndigiScapes in the Redlands. Burnout across Education and Care is real, and Breathing Space is designed to refresh you as much as it grows you.

Set your pace, find your flow
There’s no timetable to race between. Come and go as you please throughout the day:

• Professional conversations: thoughtful, unhurried discussions in garden spaces under the trees
• Provocations: hands-on experiences to explore, make, move and play
• Trades and stalls: wander through resources and chat with suppliers along the way
• Breathing space: quiet spots, coffee and food vans, and time to catch up with colleagues

Three threads run through the day

• Wander: choice, presence, nature and finding balance
• Wonder: curiosity, creativity and the love of learning
• Connect: relationships, belonging and the village of educators

Who you’ll meet
Featured voice Dr Geraldine Harris, with Stephen Gallen, Robyn Dixon, Bernadette Rutyna, Caroline Fewster and Grandma Gwen. More presenters and trades will be revealed as details are confirmed.
