Based on the \u201cpecha kucha\u201d format, each presentation includes a maximum of 20 slides so each slide might advance every 15 seconds. The concise talks stimulate ideas and discussion and enable multiple speakers to contribute to a theme. Lightning talks are an excellent format for sharing a teaching innovation or an interesting solution to a problem from your experience. You will usually present alongside 3-4 others during a Lightning talk session. Discussion time is often most effective when pooled at the end of the presentations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Flip Session (30 Minutes)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/educationconference.arts.ac.uk\/festival2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/06.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2889\" srcset=\"https:\/\/educationconference.arts.ac.uk\/festival2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/06.png 1024w, https:\/\/educationconference.arts.ac.uk\/festival2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/06-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/educationconference.arts.ac.uk\/festival2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/06-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/educationconference.arts.ac.uk\/festival2026\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/03\/06-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Propose a flip session if you would like participants to have seen materials before attending.
