a Photo | A Poem | A Dream Deferred

An Interactive Workshop for Caregivers, Educators, and Advocates

Unlock the power of art  and poetry to spark meaningful dialogue, inspire empathy, and ignite change.

In this dynamic workshop, participants will explore how visual art and poetry can be combined to foster deep thinking, reflective dialogue, and social awareness. Drawing on Harvard Project Zero's Thinking Routines, you'll learn how to guide young learners—and yourself—through processes that nurture curiosity, close observation, and thoughtful interpretation.

• Explore powerful routines like See-Think-Wonder, Think-Puzzle-Explore, and I Used to Think… Now I Think
   
• Blend photography and poetry to inspire inquiry and develop critical thinking
   
• Engage in collaborative discussions around educational inequities and how they impact individuals and communities
   
• Discover how art can serve as a catalyst for equity-driven conversations with young children
   
• Access ongoing facilitator support and resources for implementing these practices in real-world settings
   

This isn’t just a workshop—it’s a call to action. You'll leave with tools, insights, and a renewed sense of purpose in your role as an educator or caregiver. "When we engage the senses and the soul, learning becomes transformational."
 

Perfect for:

Early childhood educators, caregivers, parents, and advocates passionate about using education to build a more just and imaginative world.
