SCMA Conference 2008
To reflect the growing diversity of Scotland’s population the theme for this year’s conference is culture. It is not uncommon to hear more than five different languages in school playgrounds in Scotland, not to mention numerous different dialects. How we continue to meet the needs of such a diverse cross section of children and families within our communities requires us to understand and celebrate cultural differences. The conference will offer you the opportunity to share in debate regarding how developing knowledge and skills in the use of storytelling, drama, music and food will enhance children’s learning experiences.
Venue
The venue for this year’s conference is Western House Hotel, Ayr Racecourse. The hotel is well equipped to suit all our event requirements. The conference centre has been refurbished to the highest standard, with beautiful carpeting throughout and natural daylight from floor to ceiling in all conference rooms. The conference centre is only 35 minutes drive from Glasgow City Centre via the new M77 motorway.
