Actionable Innovations is a professional learning community in which participants explore innovation in education. Every Friday we meet to discuss trends in education and invite inspiring guests to join us and share their work. Parents, educators, students, and other folks interested in improving teaching and learning are always welcome.

On Friday, April 22, 2022, Canada's Michael Furdyk will be our guest. Lucy Gray will interview Michael about his personal innovation journey. The discussion will also highlight the social innovation/global education community of practice at innovativeteaching.today. Michael will also share some stories of student-led social innovation and work supporting remote communities.

Michael Furdyk is the Co-founder of TakingITGlobal (www.tigweb.org), which provides innovative global education programs that empower youth to understand and act on the world's greatest challenges. TIG was awarded the Intercultural Innovation Award by BMW and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations. Michael completed his Master of Design (MDes) in Inclusive Design at OCAD University and has been an Adjunct Professor for the Master of Education Technology program at Long Island University.
