This workshop is designed to make you rethink your typical response when considering community culture, step out of your comfort zone, and learn how various stakeholders may view success differently. The journey will have you questioning simple answers such as yes and no and enjoy candor with industry experts who help us look at culture and experiences from multiple stakeholder point of views. Through open dialogue and shared goals, we will experience the importance of individual voices while we collaborate and design education spaces that support the development of future learners. Join us as we combine research with design, pedagogy with engagement, and aspirations with functionality. Our panel of industry experts will walk you through what defines success through the lens of a researcher, architect, superintendent, and supplier. You will leave this session with an action item that challenges you to share our learnings with those outside of the conference. We will see how the power of one voice can promote change through meaningful conversations.

Learning Objectives:

1. Learn how today’s education environments are demanding innovation and stronger culture. They will refresh their perspective as they look through the lens of emerging leaders with diverse goals.
2. Understand the concept of radical empathy and discover how it can unite stakeholders and drive innovation.
3. Have a deeper understanding of the importance of community and how togetherness drives positive culture.
4. Participants will be challenged to share their perspective, ideas or learnings through a trackable method to those not attending the conference – spreading the learnings beyond the session. This will allow us to quantify the power of one individual voice.
