Session Description

What matters more: facts or narratives? Do we immerse ourselves in everything that is happening or shield ourselves from it? These are but some of today’s burning questions. In this workshop, we will utilize the Polarities framework to explore how the complexities educators are facing can drive their choices and actions.
