CEN Teacher Conference
Had a major meeting today trying to finalize the details about CEN's annual teacher conference. I thought I would share some of the details we finalized:
Before They Vote: Engaging Young Citizens in School and Beyond
mid-November in the Toronto City Hall Council Chambers
Workshop 1: Teaching the (Fun)damentals of Civics
Workshop 2: Beyond Charity ~ focus is on being critical of raising money as activism
Workshop 3: People Power Participation ~ presentation by Dave Meslin
Lunch will be catered and the current idea is to seed the lunch with people who work at various non-profits around the city.
Instead of a keynote we're doing a panel to end the day on the topic of the conference. Our panelists will hopefully be:
Sarah McCoubrey ~ Executive Director of OJEN
Rudyard Griffith ~ founder of the Dominion Institute
Peter McLeod ~ of MASS LBP
For a moderator we're going to ask Steve Paikin and/or Mike Wise
Cost will be $40 and open to teachers around Toronto.
That's it. Not we just need to finalize it all.
