Calling the Village: 2024 Unconference

Deep Center, in partnership with the College of Education of Georgia Southern University, held the second annual Unconference! An “unconference” is a participant-driven conference model. Unconferences and prioritizes participant voices (in this case local educators) as leaders and decision-makers, in contrast to traditional conferences that often feature researchers, academics, or experts that are unfamiliar with the specific challenges and strengths of a local context. This year's Unconference featured educator developed workshops, therapy dogs, ice breakers galore, a break out performance from the SLAM team, and flowers of appreciation for all our educators who came out!!
