Save the date for the upcoming Dallas City of Lear

Save the date for the upcoming Dallas City of Learning State of Summer: Whole Child, Whole Year on February 21, 2022. ⁠
⁠
Join DCoL, along with local thought leaders and partners as we convene Monday, February 21 to discuss how we collectively prepare youth and their families in ever changing environments with the ultimate goal of ensuring that academic enrichment and social and emotional wellness needs are addressed and met. ⁠
⁠
This collaborative event will include dedicated educators, city and policy makers that are invested in developing the whole child. We’ll also examine the outcomes in comparison of where we've been and the future of summer and year round learning in Dallas. Stay tuned for more details, you don’t want to miss this event!

Inspired by Dr. Shawn Ginwright's Healing Centered

Inspired by Dr. Shawn Ginwright's Healing Centered Engagement, this engaging workshop will explore the value of aspirational thinking, the importance of questioning, and the benefits of cultivating hope in young people. ⁠
⁠
This session will offer opportunities to self-reflect, discover, and reimagine the “why” by making connections and creating personal statements. How can we foster, nurture, and encourage the students in our programs to find meaning.⁠
