Keynote Presentation: Joy as an Antidote
Get ready to be inspired, re-energized, and immersed in a world of playful learning. Drawing on her extensive background in experiential education and her current context in art, craft, and design, Carrie will invite us to consider how joy can be a powerful antidote to burnout, rekindling the flame of fun and fulfillment in educational practices. You’ll leave this session with a lighter heart and a heavier toolkit to carry you forward in your teaching and facilitation.
