Shaping the future of education in Alberta is the focus of Wednesday's "Inspiring Education: A Dialogue with Albertans" education summit at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge.

Provincial education minister Dave Hancock is expected to attend the daylong event, one of 10 being held across the province. Albertans from all walks of life are encouraged to bring their perspectives to the conversation by joining in the discussion. Pre-registration is required to attend the event. Visit www.inspiringeducation.alberta.ca for more information or to register.

The Inspiring Education project will focus public conversations on how education in Alberta can best meet future students' needs. It is essential that Albertans from all regions become involved in this important discussion about education.

The dialogue is reaching out to an extensive cross section of Albertans with diverse points of view and perspectives. Inspiring Education is different than a typical consultation. The Government of Alberta is not assuming that it has the answers and is simply asking participants to prioritize or choose options. Inspiring Education promises to be about listening to a variety of interests and voices to deepen perspective on education and help develop public understanding and expectations across multiple perspectives. The goal is to reach out to individual perspectives of the community, engaging all Albertans and including new and different perspectives.
