SXSW EDU 2022

Building a Human-centered Education System

Description:

We say we want diverse and inclusive citizens and communities. But there is a massive disconnect between what we say we want and what our education system actually provides. Using the short Animate, "Ladder to Nowhere," as a starting point, attendees will examine the worldview shift that birthed the common "factory model" of education and its connection to the racial, social and economic injustice that America confronts today. Together we'll explore what a human-centered education system offers.
