About this Event

This workshop is a beginner’s guide to becoming a liberatory educator who centers social justice within and beyond their classroom community. We will delve into transformative educational strategies that focus on community building, decentering Western narratives, and fostering critical consciousness. This comprehensive exploration of liberatory education aims to empower educators to cultivate inclusive learning environments that challenge traditional power dynamics and promote equity and empathy.
The workshop series will be interactive and participant-centered, consisting of a combination of presentations, group discussions, case studies, and reflection exercises. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with fellow educators, share their experiences and insights, and collaborate on developing strategies for promoting justice-oriented education in diverse classroom settings.
