In session 1, our plenary speaker, Russell Stannard, a multi-award-winning teacher trainer and founder of TeacherTrainingVideos.com, will lead an interactive, hands-on session examining how AI tools are transforming materials design, creativity, and independent learning. Russell is internationally recognised for his work in educational technology and received the British Council ELTons Award for Innovation in Technology for his pioneering website supporting teachers in using digital tools for language learning. Through his practical demonstrations and guided exploration, we will consider how AI can support more autonomous learning, how it can be integrated into creative and engaging lesson design, and how to maintain strong pedagogical foundations when using new technologies.

In session 2, a focused workshop led by Manuela Kelly Calzini (Senior Academic at Trinity College London - Italy & Central Europe), and Anna Bennett (Head of Product Support at Trinity College London - Italy & Central Europe), will take the discussion further.
