Description
Groundswell and its parent organization, the Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative, invite you to join us for the annual Place-Based Education Conference this November. For the first time ever, GVSU will host!
The Great Lakes Stewardship Initiative invites you to join us for the 8th Place-Based Education Conference. Come experience a three-day conference designed to inspire and support a community of educators around the power of place-based learning.
Place-based education transforms how teachers teach and how students learn by expanding classrooms to include a community’s organizations, history, and natural features. Investing in place helps youth engage in meaningful learning and civic life, provides vital support for teachers, and strengthens communities.
