We are celebrating the completion of Season 1, with 10 episodes of the “Educating to Be Human” podcast series. They are meant to be thought-provoking and engaging, and to shed light on the idea that creation and curiosity–essential superpowers of humans–can be harnessed to create a more humane world. As educators, we think a lot about how to do that–in both formal and informal education settings–from the classroom, to the everyday circumstances we find ourselves in. These 10 episodes below feature remarkable individuals who wake up thinking about how to best leverage our innate desire for community and connection.
