Event Date: 
Friday, December 11, 2020 - 8:00am to 12:15pm
Join us for a dynamic virtual conversation around the themes of responsibility, intensity and creativity This year pushed the world into a new era, drastically and abruptly changing the way we relate and live. With fear of the Other, violence and uncertainty rising, the need to foster a desire to understand those unlike us and to commit to the larger good of the world is intense, indeed. As educators, we are front-line even while on Zoom. How do we respond?Where is creativity exploding in response to the crises, and how do creative modes help us document, cope, protest or engender change?What is our responsibility as educators, and how do shifting intensities direct us to act?How might we intensify our work productively in order to respond?Please join us in this free virtual conference to discuss these and other questions. We are inviting educators across the world who intervene at varying levels. Session formats vary from participatory/workshop mode, to watching a panel or an individual talk, to interview, followed by Q&A.
