The 2021 National Boys’ Education Conference
Sponsorship Prospectus

Introduction
We invite you to consider the opportunities offered in this prospectus and encourage you to consider
participation in a unique and significant event. Showcase your organisation’s achievements and
offerings and raise your profile to a national audience from within the education sector.

Welcome
This year’s NBEC theme of “Failing, to grow!” asks us to examine the concept of failure from
an educational perspective. The concept of failure in the educational context has been the
subject of study now for many years. Much of our more recent thinking has investigated how
different cultures tackle learning. For the most part, in Australian culture, intellectual, moral,
or character failure in children, particularly boys, can be seen as an indicator of weakness
and threatened masculinity. Whilst in other cultures it is not only tolerated but is often used
to measure emotional strength. Emotionally strong boys can manage the stresses of daily life
more effectively, and recover more quickly from challenges and crises when they arise. Positive
attitudes around failure are associated with striving, bravery, and healthy risk taking, especially
in the academic context.

 As educators of boys, celebrating and embracing ‘failure’ can be a powerful weapon in our
teaching arsenal. NBEC 2021 is reaching across Australia and abroad to find case studies,
experiments, and evidence from teachers and researchers who are using ‘failure’ as a pedagogical
means of growing the next generation of young men.

NBEC offers your company a strategically aligned business opportunity, and in turn we seek a
partner committed to enhancing the Conference experience and learning outcomes for attendees.
We invite you to peruse the following opportunities in this Sponsorship Prospectus, we are eager
to work with you.

Welcome from the NBEC 2021 Scientific Committee.

About the National Boys’ Education Conference
The National Boys’ Education Conference (NBEC) is a biennial event that provides educators with a unique opportunity to
explore a range of interdisciplinary interests centred on promoting research in boys’ education, through keeping informed of
best practice and considering future directions in learning and teaching. With a particular focus on how boys learn best, we
are committed to raising crucial questions within the changing nature of today’s learning environments.

NBEC 2021 is one of Australia’s leading educational gatherings that is specifically designed to challenge and extend teachers
of boys. NBEC provides valuable insight into educational issues and networking opportunities for delegates.

NBEC is scheduled for Thursday 10 to Friday 11 June 2021 and is hosted by The King’s School, North Parramatta NSW. The
Conference is a two-day program curated by The King’s Institute and will attract over 200 delegates from around Australia,
with teaching professionals coming from single-sex and co-educational schools.

NBEC THEME
The 2021 Conference theme is ‘Failing, to grow!’ - failure is expected throughout life, but having the ability to learn from
failure is considered a key path to growth. The program will showcase presentations that are intimately related to teaching,
learning and applications in Education, inspired by this theme.
