We are circulating an invitation to everyone on the island that says that we:
invite everyone, of all ages to a thought-provoking presentation and conversation:
"How do we educate young people to thrive
in a world of possibility?"
“The times implore us, our young people implore us to create a fresh seed for education. What does the DNA of this seed need to contain? What do we need to conserve? What do we need to let go of? What do we need to discover? What will it take?”
This question has been our guide since the very beginning and now the time has come to begin to explore with others the ideas we have been nurturing and learning through the listening sessions, readings and meetings with others who are passionate about education, and our own meditations on the possibilities for the future.
Thanks again to Samara Shaw for making this happen. She is a beautiful, positive force for change and we deeply appreciate her support.
We invite you to join us!
