Deeper Learning 2023

Before we can create a more joyful, life-affirming, liberatory future of learning, we must imagine what it might be like. And that doesn’t mean just thinking about it. It means envisioning together what types of experiences, relationships, places, and objects might exist in the future and making them feel real. In this time travel experience, participants will explore what liberatory education means to them; consider future possibilities; and create tangible artifacts from the future. They will then map a path toward their future aspirations and critique their own plans using an explicitly emancipatory framework. Participants will return to the present with a clear set of next steps for bringing forth the future they hope to see. They will also leave the session with a set of engaging and thought-provoking tools to facilitate conversation, problem solving, and transformation with their own learning communities.
