What kind of education do you need to thrive in the 21st century? That question is the subject of much debate today. But, Martin Robinson argues, the secret to a great education for the 21st century can be found in a surprising place. By looking at the insights of the ancients and contemporary thinkers, Robinson argues for reclaiming the medieval “trivium” for contemporary times.

Martin Robinson is an advocate for the great tradition of liberal arts education. He is a former theatre and English teacher, working for over twenty years in London state schools. He was a member of senior leadership teams, and an advanced skills teacher.

Through his consultancy work he works closely with a variety of schools on curriculum design and delivers keynote lectures on curriculum, culture, and creating. As a professor he leads policy and research on curriculum and assessment for Academica University.

A regular on the conference circuit both in the U.K. and internationally, Martin’s talks are challenging, entertaining, and sure to get people talking and reflecting on their practice.
