COVID-19 has altered work and education and made it so, now, they’re often taking place at the same kitchen table. As the world is thrust into remote learning, Schools That Can has been pivoting our programming to meet teachers and students where they are: online.

Now, we’ve reenvisioned the 2020 Schools That Can Forum theme, format, and sessions as a virtual experience designed to be responsive to this historic moment. That means highlighting the skills young people need to thrive, and amplifying their voices. It looks like insight and discussion from thought leaders, and hands-on opportunities for skill-building and engagement.
