The team at TG Escapes are very proud to support this ambitious initiative. At a time where we are finding new ways to work, this 6 week program will be a source of ideas, advice, inspiration and a place to connect with others in the education industry. Now more than ever we need to come together and share our experiences to collectively find our way forward in these uncertain times.

The festival features over forty Webinars over the six weeks as well as a whole host of engaging and thought provoking On-Demand Content to view at your leisure.

“The Festival of Learning Spaces 1 June – 10 July will feature free-to-attend Webinars, On-Demand Content, Workshops, Socials and many more exciting digital opportunities. We’re delighted to announce TG Escapes as a Festival Headline Sponsor. Since I launched Education Estates® 8 years ago TG Escapes has been a valued exhibitor, and we’re delighted that they are supporting us in this ambitious and exciting festival.” James Lee, Managing Director, Step Connect²
