HAPPINESS & ITS CAUSES
FESTIVAL
 

The Happiness & Its Causes Festival is the focus of activity outside of the conference auditorium. The Festival is a dynamic place for meeting, shopping, fact-finding, entertainment and learning. This is also the place where you can enjoy tea, coffee and a snack during the breaks. And if it all gets too much, just sit down and listen to the music!

                 

Located in the Bayside Grand Hall on the ground floor of the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Mindfest will be open throughout the two days of the conference – make sure you take this opportunity to maximise your participation in the conference.

  • Understanding the inter-subjectivities of the teaching practice
  • Acknowledging the felt intensities of teaching
  • Reclaiming the delight in ‘measuring’ the intangible gifts and talents of the ‘good’ teacher
