What is the significance of imagination in our work as educators? In a world shaped more and more by algorithmic logic, what does it mean to dream? What role might the imagination play in how we collectively address our shared future? This interactive talk will open up a dynamic conversation about liberatory education design. How can we cultivate the growth of the imagination for ourselves and for our students? We will explore everyday practices and design strategies that can lead us to become self-actualized shapers of a more just and sustainable world.
