GYLI and Brown University are delighted to announce the 2012 "Living in a Flat World" experiential conference in Providence Rhode Island, on the Brown University Campus and surrounding areas.  The conference will feature speakers and presenters from Brown University Department of Continuing Education, The Choices Curriculum, GYLI and other organizations. Based on the success of the 2011 "Living in a Flat World" Conference in Costa Rica, we know this will be an event to remember. This conference will be RESIDENTIAL, EXPERIENTIAL, and INSPIRATIONAL.  

RESIDENTIAL: participants will stay in two hotels near the Brown Campus to build community and reflect on the experience as it is happening.  GYLI fill faclitate evening reflection and networking sessions at both hotels, so participants have ample opportunity to meet, learn, and take away as much as possible.  We will limit the number of attendees to 175 so that everyone has a chance to engage fully in the experience.  Schools will be limited to 5 individuals.  

EXPERIENTIAL: each day of the conference, participants will be able to select from off-campus options including urban arts programs, tall-ship sailing, and environmental projects that will offer hands-on and interactive learning for teachers and educators to DO, REFLECT, and TRANSFER back to their own campuses. 

INSPIRATIONAL: we know that educators need opportunities to connect with others, their subject areas, and the future of education in general.  We know that the wide variety of participating schools and organizations will ensure that everyone leaves with new partnerships and a sense of hopeful innovation.
