The iiE and EMU Bright Futures are mixing it up! Join us on the campus of Eastern Michigan University for the 2018 Ideas to Action Gathering. This is a unique event combining a design mindset approach with a broad theme of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). If you’ve attended an iiE Gathering or an EMU Bright Futures Ideas to Action conference previously (or if you haven’t!) we are sure you will find this two day event energizing, thought provoking, and inspiring. Thursday, June 28 is a full-day design thinking workshop, while Friday, June 29 will feature keynote storytelling, workshops, unconference sessions and more! Join us for either or both days. Registration is open now.
UPDATE: The Thursday “Designing for Social and Emotional Learning” workshop is sold out. You may add your name to the waitlist. Tickets remain for the Friday “Reflect and Serve” symposium.
