Making as Healing | Daylong Experience

We invite you to join us for a day-long retreat exploring the healing possibilities of maker-centered learning.

As educators, we continue to face some of the most difficult teaching circumstances in recent memory. We are helping young people move through a challenging and transformative time all while living through it ourselves. Many of us are finding that our old tools are no longer supporting this new environment.

Join Agency by Design Oakland in this day-long workshop where we will create a space for educators to come together, practice individual and collective healing practices through making, and center community, care, and connection. We will explore how maker-centered learning can be a tool for healing in our learning spaces, to create a culture of care for our learners, and to cultivate the conditions for empathy, vulnerability, joy, and rest.

Light breakfast, lunch, & snacks will be provided

CEUs are available for purchase
