SUMMARY:Thriving Together
DESCRIPTION:How do we build learning communities that flourish?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat 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? \n\n\n\nIn 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. \n\n\n\nWhile 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. \n\n\n\nWe’d love to have you join us! \n\n\n\nABOUT THE SPEAKER\n\n\n\nDr Lynn Swaner is the President\, US at Cardus\, a non-partisan think tank dedicated to clarifying and strengthening\, through research and dialogue\, the ways in which society’s institutions can work together for the common good. Her work focuses on flourishing educational systems and schools that enable students\, educators\, and communities to thrive. She is the editor or lead author of numerous books\, including Flourishing Together: A Christian Vision for Students\, Educators\, and Schools (Eerdmans\, 2021). Dr Swaner holds a doctorate in organisational leadership from Teachers College\, Columbia University and a diploma in strategy and innovation from University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. She previously served as a graduate professor of education\, as well as a Christian school leader in New York.  \n\n\n\nThis event will not be recorded\, or livestreamed.  \n\n\n\nLaidlaw Students/Alumni use access code STUDENT25 for a discount.
