NZLA Symposium 2025

Winds of Change: New Zealand Literacy Association Symposium 2025

Registrations are open!

The ‘Winds of Change’ have blown strongly in Aotearoa over recent years, affecting our lives, our learners, and our teaching practices. We have negotiated COVID, discovered new communication technologies, and been immersed in changes to curriculum and approaches to literacy instruction.

While change can involve disruption and challenge, it is also a catalyst for innovation, experimentation, reflection, and growth.

We invite you to join us at our ‘Winds of Change’ symposium for two days of celebration, creativity, inspiration, and innovation. Seize the opportunity to hear motivating expert keynote speakers and workshop presenters and to connect with colleagues old and new.

Get ready for an inspiring and transformative experience at the NZLA Symposium, “Winds of Change”!

This year’s event will be held at Scots College in Wellington, providing a fantastic backdrop for two days of professional growth and networking.
