Virtual Salon
Global Learning: How to Create a Lifelong Curriculum

Wed, Aug 19th

nextlearn-dark-purple

What if school never stopped? What if graduation was just a celebration of the next phase of learning? We all know that learning never really stops, but what if our learning systems actually supported that reality? If a "World Learning Organization" existed, what would its first priority be?  What would it look like if every child (and adult) had access to lifelong learning? How do we embed creativity, resilience, problem solving, and continuous learning into our global education systems? We'll discuss these questions and offer potential solutions in this salon, the first in the next: Learn series.
