What is an Innovation Caucus? An Innovation Caucus is a forum designed to foster collaborative dialogue, critical analysis, and the exchange of ideas among participants who are passionate about a specific subject area. It's a unique opportunity for:
- stakeholders to come together, drawing from diverse experiences and perspectives
- to explore innovative solutions and strategies.
The focus is on active participation and collective problem-solving, and forging connections among individuals dedicated to making a tangible impact.
In the ever-evolving landscape of our communities and workplaces, the imperative to foster environments that are inclusive to all has never been more critical. This Innovation Caucus is dedicated to bringing together minds from various backgrounds to engage with the challenges and opportunities of implementing inclusive practices in our spheres of influence.
This session will serve as a platform for participants to collaborate in small-group settings, encouraging open, honest dialogue and shared learning, around a mutual goal of creating inclusive classrooms
