Workshop

Brave Enough to Learn - Virtual

This interactive workshop explores teaching through practices drawn from applied improvisation, intercultural education, and trauma-informed perspectives on learning. We’ll experiment with skills of authenticity, relating across difference, co-regulation, and intentional processing that help create environments where all participants can feel safe enough to be brave — to take intellectual risks, seek and speak truth with reciprocally enriching curiosity, and remain accountable to one another. Rather than avoiding challenge, we’ll practice meeting it intentionally as necessary opportunity for collective growth.

Participants will leave with practical facilitation tools and renewed confidence in fostering classrooms grounded in shared responsibility among teachers and students, emancipatory agency, and transformative learning.
