It’s Time To Rethink School :: Launch Event

We all want a better future for our youth, yes?
Join us for a deep exploration together as we Rethink School! We believe you’ll want to know what kind of positive change-making is going on in your community.

It takes a village to raise a child, right?
Well, we’ve created space for the village to gather. This March 27, Rethink Thinking is pleased to host the “It’s Time To Rethink School” event. It’s a special evening for people — like you — who lie awake at night thinking about what’s going to happen if we don’t get it together for the kids.

Join us for an evening of expanding your mind and an exciting announcement. As a parent, educator, or community supporter, you’ll get to take a peek into the future of education and take your seat at the table.

WHY WE WOULD DO THIS
———————————————–
The research is mounting. We’re seeing a spike in anxiety, depression and isolation, and we’ve got a huge number of kids leaving high school — university, even — without the resilience to handle the constant change and uncertainty of a fast-moving world. And we’ve got some ideas for what to do about it.

WHO ARE WE
———————————————–
Rethink Thinking was launched in 2016 by a passionate group of educators, parents and social entrepreneurs who share a vision of supporting young people to develop the skills needed for today’s era of rapid change and interconnection. Our philosophy and approach is designed to empower youth and support creativity, innovation and holistic well-being.
