This Fireside Chat is based on the insights gained via the book 'When We Thrive, Our World Thrives: Stories of Young People growing up with Adversity', which proposes that education systems can be intentionally designed to move young people from adversity to thriving. The panel will have authors- Dr. Connie K. Chung (EdD, Education researcher) and Vishal Talreja (Co-founder, Dream a Dream), along with Manjunath Anand and Pallavi S (whose stories are featured in the book). The book invites parents, educators, health professionals, policy makers and all decision makers in young people’s lives to understand the need for thriving, the environment which enables it and to intentionally design it. The conversation will be facilitated by Master Facilitator, Nadia Chaney, who has a Master’s degree in Education, a diploma in Dialogue and Negotiation and an advanced post-grad certificate in Expressive Art Therapy.
This is a sign-up event for leaders, educators, facilitators and students. International Sign (IS) language interpretation will be available.
