Thriving Together
How do we build learning communities that flourish?
June 25, 2025 @ 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM
What makes a school truly flourish—not just academically, but as a whole community? How can we support environments where students, educators, and families thrive together?
In this in-person event, Dr Lynn Swaner will share insights from her extensive research across more than a dozen countries and over 150,000 voices, exploring what really matters in education—and how flourishing communities can be cultivated through vision, values, and intentional practice.
While this event is designed for educators, it will resonate with anyone involved in Christian leadership, school governance, chaplaincy, or faith-based community development. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the shared work of shaping learning communities that support holistic growth and spiritual wellbeing.
We’d love to have you join us!
