Remake Learning Days is back all across Pennsylvania on May 4 - 23, 2023.
During January and February our focus is to identify great quality event hosts to open their doors (in-person or virtually) to host learning events related to one or more of these themes: arts, maker, outdoor learning, science, tech, and youth voice. Our goal is to create an event calendar of 100+ events across NWPA where parents and caregivers can learn alongside their kids in evenings and on weekends and teachers can engage their students in events during the school day. One festival goal is for youth to find new interests, families/educators to find new community connections, and to bring a community together as part of the festival. We have a handful of $250 mini-grants for event hosts, if needed.
In March/April our focus will shift to sharing the event calendar with educators and families so they can find events that fit their schedule and interests.
