[Online conference] Re-imagining Education Conference

Dates: 24-27 October 2024.

Location: Online.

Register to attend.

How can we re-imagine education with the earth?

The education system was built to feed a predatory economy that is now destroying the planet. Who still wants to be part of that? What can we learn from what has not worked? What can we do differently today? How can we compost our failures into fertile soil? What if we bring our territories, lands, trees, flowers, mountains, oceans, rocks, and subterranean knowledge to this conference?

Join this experiment in collective learning, to be in better service of life and care for the Earth.
