BrightWorks and World Savvy are partnering this spring to offer a ChangeMaker Hub, which is an immersive, day-long learning experience that brings students, educators, school leaders, and community members together to rethink education and design solutions for a more inclusive, relevant, engaging school system.

As schools work to address chronic absenteeism, student engagement, and classroom relevance, it’s essential to incorporate the voices and experiences of students.

Through collaborative inquiry and meaningful dialogue across generations and roles, participants will reflect on the current system, share perspectives, and co-create ideas to take back to their schools and districts. Students will leave with actionable solutions to spark change in their communities, while adults gain a deeper understanding of the student experience and tools to support youth-led innovation.

With ongoing support from World Savvy and BrightWorks, these ideas will be nurtured into lasting impact. You are invited to join us on April 23rd to build a future where education works for everyone. This event is for BrightWorks member districts and schools.
