YEOTY CPD Webinar 2021

We are delighted to bring you details of our live webinar for teachers in relation to the Young Economist(s) of the Year 2022 initiative. We have put together a fantastic lineup of guests for our teacher professional development webinar, Thursday, 18th November 2021 from 7.00 – 8.30 pm.

If you are a teacher currently supporting students with their projects for entry to the PDST Young Economist(s) of the Year 2022 or your school is interested in getting involved in the future, this is a great source of information and ideas. Participants will hear from experts in the field of economics, ideas and tools for using data and research to support lines of inquiry along with members of the judging panel from previous years.
