The Summit on Pedagogy considers the values and belief systems that underlie the way we teach, learn and collaborate, and asks how such tools can become effective catalysts for change.

Pedagogy is often understood as the special realm of teachers, but at its core it asks about the connection between personal development and our participation in society. It is concerned not only with the exchange of information, but the conditions--mental, emotional, physical--that enable the exchange. As such, pedagogy reaches across disciplines and contexts for imagining radical social change.

The two-day program offered hands-on workshops from a range of disciplines and invited participants to explore tools outside their areas of expertise. We ask: How can practical tools become effective catalysts for change? Are such tools only local solutions, or can they offer viable answers for the dominant education systems? What are the values and belief systems that underlie the way we teach, interact and collaborate? How can we create more exchange between different learning modalities?
