Global Gatherings are regional conversations, driven by teachers and rotating between schools, on world-connected learning. The question behind this year’s Global Gathering is: "How can K-12 schools help students explore, discover and articulate a sense of purpose at an earlier age?” Global Gathering NYC is organized by World Leadership School, hosted by The Hewitt School.

Global Gathering: Schools of Purpose will include a blend of educator development experiences on Friday, November 9th, and Saturday, November 10th. On Friday, participants will experience a process for helping educators clarify their own purpose. We start from the premise that educators have to do the hard work of clarifying purpose before they can coach students to do the same. Along the way, we will explore the theory and science of youth purpose and understand why it’s a game changer not only for our students, but for our schools. We use Stanford University’s definition of purpose as a “stable intention that is both meaningful to self and beneficial to the world.”

Thank you so very much for a meaningful and inspirational gathering of committed folks.” |
Also on Friday, educators from different schools will showcase their work around purpose learning, which range from advisory and college counseling programs focused on helping students develop inner knowledge, to innovation and place-based learning programs which help students take action in the world. Friday will end with an evening dinner and a student keynote presentation.
Saturday’s deep drive tracks allow participants to go deep in one particular area of purpose learning, in order to leave the conference with curricular tools and takeaways for their school. Saturday will also include a Youth Action Accelerator for New York-area youth kindly sponsored by Riley's Way Foundation.
