In the age of user-generated content and the instant search result, how can we encourage critical analysis of the “wisdom of crowds”? How can we help young people in the education system towards the platform of intellectual confidence that is a characteristic of growing up and underpins all contributory citizenship?

Our panel includes: Professor Guy Claxton, Professor of Learning Sciences at the University of Bristol Graduate School of Education, Professor Stephen Heppell, online education policy adviser, heppell.net, Sir Mike Tomlinson CBE, Chief Adviser of London Challenge and former H. M. Chief Inspector of Schools and Kathryn Pollard,  Director of Curriculum Development at St John's School and Community College, Marlborough.

RSA

For more than 200 years, the RSA has provided platforms for leading public thinkers. That tradition lives on in our free events programme. Our distinguished and diverse roll call of speakers has recently featured, amongst others, Kofi Annan, Wangari Maathai, Al Gore, Clay Shirky, Jeffrey Sachs and Craig Venter. You can experience our events in person at the RSA House, through live audio-streaming over the web, or watch or listen at your convenience, using free video and audio downloads. Themes: A platform for thought-leaders and practitioners to explore some of the biggest challenges facing society. Thursdays: A weekly lunchtime dose of debate on current affairs and culture. Vision: Our inspiring series of video lectures from the world’s most exciting speakers. Screens: World-class documentaries with exclusive post-screening conversations with the film-makers. Launched by this year’s BAFTA Award Winner for Best Documentary, Molly Dineen’s The Lie of the Land, recent highlights include Nick Broomfield’s Battle for Haditha and Dave Gorman’s America Unchained. Festivals: Bringing internationally distinguished writers and thinkers to the UK's best festivals, including The Guardian Hay Festival, the Edinburgh International Festival and The Six Cities Design Festival.
