Let’s Work Together
Educators and students across the province are excited to be inquiring about issues and priorities that matter most to our communities at the confluence of people, place and planet. By helping educators to link classroom and community through these and other relationships, this professional development event hopes to inspire more promising practices and transformative learning in our schools and communities.
We are now inviting organizations that have demonstrated leadership and commitment in connecting classrooms and communities to join the sponsorship circle for our C2C 2025 Provincial Professional Development Conference. Our 2018-2024 conferences have been wonderfully successful events, and there is similar excitement building for this fall’s event. Supporting the conference, at whatever level you are able, will position your organization as a part of the Classrooms to Communities movement rippling across our province.
The C2C Education Network is a made-in-BC collaborative of partners committed to providing place and land-based educational leadership and support to B.C. teachers and school districts through a suite of strategies, events and activities across the province. C2C envisions a province where all students and teachers are deeply connected to place, land, community and planet, are able to effectively communicate their stories of connectedness, and are taking responsibility to do so.
C2C Provincial Conferences: Growing a Tradition of Connection
Since 2018, the C2C Education Network partners have been convening world-class, transformative professional development events around the province. Our provincial conferences, held each year in October, are extraordinary gatherings that bring together leaders, change makers and educators from across B.C. and Canada to celebrate and deepen our shared work.
