Hello Educators.
For arts educators and educators open to the arts.
The summit is a personal & professional development boutique event which will bring exceptional leaders in arts education together. However, other education disciplines are welcome and encouraged as the more diverse voices, the better. The experience has been created to connect educators, create a safe space, explore ideas & topics, share best practices, and provide support. Collectively the wisdom, experience, and skills are encouraged to be examined and collaborated with all who attend. Through workshops, guest speakers, interactive events, surprise box deliveries, discussions, and dynamic interactions, the event promises to be a game-changer to the current conference model.
The historical events of the past year have provided unprecedented challenges and uncertainty. The virtual summit offers an opportunity to share space with other educators, exchange best practices, learn, listen, observe, connect, refresh, and replenish.
This moment is calling for to us to connect prior to everyone heading back into a new school year. Let us gather, join our virtual individual boats, and help each other rise together in this sea of uncertainty and possibility.
