Learning Stories without Borders: Bridging Teaching Communities and Cultures through Narrative Inquiry
Join us for our highly anticipated 7th National Learning Stories Conference, where educators, researchers, and storytellers from across the globe will come together to explore the enriching power of narratives which can transcend cultural boundaries.
Our theme, which focuses on bridging communities, promises to spark insightful discussions, foster meaningful connections, and provide a powerful platform for sharing diverse perspectives through Learning Stories. We look forward to coming together to recognize the magnitude that a Learning Story extends beyond traditional assessments.
