Listening Sessions are curated group sessions for adults and young people, open to
Schools (public, private, alternative, and virtual)
Learning centers (Self-Directed, Agile, Sudbury, and Democratic)
Unschooling communities
Learning institutions who desire to gain insight into the value and impact of existing approaches, identify areas of challenge and explore short and long-term ways to shift those challenges toward better practices. Sessions are uniquely designed based on your needs with the ability to explore challenges and learn about your community's thoughts, perceptions, and desires for engaging issues through prompts, movement, and emergent dialogue.
Here are a few focus points
Gather feedback from rarely heard members of your school, center, or community space
Learn what works and what doesn’t work, yet
Develop a resource map with information about the strengths of the community around identified issues
Introduce the broad goals for the project and get community feedback for action steps to meet those goals
