Convening Follow-up Discussion: Breaking Down Silos
Thank you for joining us at the Convening: Journey Towards Liberation. Now that we’ve spent some time together, let’s go further into the discussion of where we are on our collective journey and how to better work together to move education towards liberation.
Join us at iGrow WA, the premier summit dedicated to Leaders of Color in Washington state education! Whether you’re a seasoned principal, an aspiring leader, district leader, or an educational partner, this event is tailored to inspire, connect, and grow your leadership journey. The theme of the Summit is “We hear you. We see you. We need you.”
On Saturday, May 4th 2024, WA Charters invites stakeholders investing, iterating, and innovating in Washington education to come together to share what we’ve learned. Join in for a day of learning, dialogue, and idea exchange across a range of communities—schools, student support organizations, philanthropies, and businesses, all focused on preparing the next generation of leaders to navigate the challenges and promises of the world to come. Read more and register.
Join Convening facilitator, James Boutin, in a two-day in-person training designed for those working for social justice across various sectors (education, law, healthcare, food access, climate justice, etc…) who are tired of watching infighting, poor communication, and burnout diminish the power of social justice efforts. It’s become clear that the personality conflicts and siloing are actually collaborating with the system that social justice is trying to dismantle.
Let’s build a framework for understanding oppression that humanizes every single human on earth, acknowledges the complex connections between systems and trauma, AND points us toward effective action.
