Actionable Innovations Global is a collaborative, dynamic, worldwide professional community of educators who believe that learning at all levels should embody action and innovation.

Learning embodies action by engaging teachers and learners in meaningful applications of knowledge and abilities: experiential learning, hands-on and maker learning, challenge- and project-based learning, place-based learning, social-emotional learning, universal design for learning and accessibility, the development of global competence and civics, and learning that pursues the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Learning embodies innovation by embracing emerging technologies and tools, incorporating new research and discoveries in neuroscience and developmental psychology, and practicing creative teaching and learning strategies being developed around the world.

We welcome teachers, learners, school leaders, educational technologists, and others interested in making teaching and learning more diverse, connected, sustainable, creative, and significant for everyone involved.

Formerly known as the Global Education Conference, the GLOW Conference focuses on developing global competencies, increasing opportunities for cross-border collaboration (nationally and internationally), preparing learners for active global citizenship, and ensuring educational equity and opportunity for all. 

The conference goals are to: 

1. To convene a vibrant global community of educational practitioners at all levels interested in experiential learning and the development of global competencies;

2. To provide educators with accessible, high-quality professional learning experiences and inspire creative educational innovation;

3. To showcase engaging, innovative practices in experiential and global learning and to highlight practical, actionable methods for implementing these educational approaches with learners;

4. To provide a forum for discussion of methods, goals, and learning theories related to experiential and global learning and to open opportunities for collaborative research and exploration of emerging methods, goals, and learning theories;

5. To connect educators and schools with forward-thinking colleagues and organizations for ongoing support and collaboration.

The basic conference will be free to attend, and we encourage everyone interested in experiential and global learning to submit a proposal, including first-time presenters.
