Action Dreaming: A Community Conversation About the Future of Learning

In an educational landscape teeming with uncertainties, it has become increasingly difficult to parent children, harder to teach them, and it’s especially challenging to be one. So much of the conversation now is about what’s good for education, but few people are talking about what is actually good for children — and what is good for the people who love them.

Join Kass and Cornelius Minor in partnership with Kwame Alexander for a participatory evening of dreaming and community conversation about the future of learning that is centered on children and the villages that nurture them. Be ready to engage in storytelling, listening, and art-making, as we explore what education has been and what powerful, transformative learning CAN be.
Who should attend?

Action Dreaming is for educators, parents and caregivers, dreamers, artists, activists, and anyone who believes in the power of community to foster educational change. It’s for those who seek to envision a better future for education and to actively participate in its creation. Together, we’ll explore how collective imagination and creativity can pave the way for a future where education embodies equity, joy, and boundless possibility.
