Education pioneers Charles Kouns and Stella Humphries invite everyone, of all ages to a thought-provoking presentation and conversation:
“How do we educate young people to thrive in a world of possibility?”
“The times implore us, our young people implore us to create a fresh seed for education. What does the DNA of this seed need to contain? What do we need to conserve? What do we need to let go of? What do we need to discover? What will it take?”
The event will take place Friday, March 11th, from 7 to 9 p.m.at the Senior Center
