Education Insights: A Focus on Resilience

Resilience in education is a shared responsibility, one that spans schools, communities and educators. In a world of rapid change and new challenges, helping young people develop confidence and perseverance has never been more important. The National Football Museum in Manchester provides the perfect backdrop, where football itself offers everyday examples of resilience through teamwork, recovery and collective support.

This event brings together inspiring voices from across education and community life. Musharaf Asghar, star of Educating Yorkshire and a passionate advocate for resilience and overcoming adversity, will deliver the keynote. His story of determination and courage has inspired countless educators and young people, offering a powerful reminder of what can be achieved with belief, encouragement, and support. Stuart Dunne, CEO of Youth Focus North West, will highlight the power of community and youth-led approaches, showing how collaboration can help teachers feel supported and connected.
