Reflecting on Season 1: Lessons in Community, Creativity, and Change
Manage episode 477228664 series 3609753
In Season 1 of Educating to Be Human, we asked questions—about creativity and curiosity, change and adaptation, empathy and self-worth. We spoke with changemakers in classrooms, communities, and prisons, all committed to reimagining education as a powerful lever for transformation.
In this special bonus episode, host Lisa Petrides looks back at the voices and ideas that shaped our first season—and shares a glimpse of what’s ahead in Season 2. New stories, deeper questions, and continued exploration of what it means to educate—and live together as humans.
