We appreciate it is the end of the school holidays and for this reason we have included free time and a social element to the event, as well as an opportunity for alumni to network with fellow professionals.

This event is exclusively for Durham alumni and is open to all who work in or have an interest in Education. Whether you studied Education at Durham or elsewhere, or if you are now retired, all Durham alumni are welcome to attend.

The event is free to attend, spaces are limited and will be booked on a first-come, first-served basis.
