The Green Room Conversations capture the kind of talk that normally happens before the cameras roll. In the world of theatre, comedy and media, the Green Room is where people gather before a show. It is the place where people connect, share ideas and have honest conversations. It's where the best thinking and connections often begin. That spirit is what we set out to create in these chats.
Each Green Room brings together a small group of people from across the world diving into key issues shaping AI in education. Some agree with each other, some challenge each other, and pretty much everyone builds on each other’s thinking. What forms is a tiny global community of practice for that moment. No formal script, no agenda, just people talking openly and thinking out loud.
These conversations are more like pub chats than formal panels. They show what happens when people bring their experiences and curiosity into the same space and explore what AI might mean for learning, teaching and equity.
Thank you to every participant who found time in their packed schedules to share insights with the community for free - simply to support educators access information in this transforming landscape. Your collaboration and generosity shapes this work in ways that matter.
