Innovation in Education: Lessons from Pioneers around the World was officially launched in London on January 25, 2012.

This first WISE publication examines 16 pioneering projects, almost all of which have been winners or finalists of the WISE Awards, that have succeeded in transforming people's lives through education. It looks at some of the common features of innovation, how innovation happens, and when and how to scale up.

WISE invited writer and innovation expert Charles Leadbeater and photographer Romain Staros Staropoli to visit the people behind the projects in order to find out how ideas have been turned into actions that work at scale.

Published by Bloomsbury, the book is now available at major bookshops in the UK and at www.bloomsburyacademic.com and www.amazon.com.

This inspiring, attractive and highly readable publication brings to light the stories of how these initiatives developed and grew to benefit both learners and communities. It also helps raise awareness of the crucial need for innovation in education worldwide. Share your thoughts on the book at
