Roundtable Discussions on Education for Human Flourishing (EHF)

HundrED conducted a community survey about human flourishing, EHF and what those mean in context. In our analysis of the data, we explored what contextual factors impact community members’ definitions of and experiences with flourishing, but we want to hear more from you! This whole-group session will be driven by provocations from HundrED’s innovator community and commentary by member(s) of the EHF Coalition. If you would like to share a thought, question, or provocation, please do so via this form. HundrED will select a few to explore during the session. If yours is selected, we would love it if you would read it aloud for the session.
