SCHOOL NEEDS RETHINKING.

THE RETHINKERS NEED INSPIRATION.

The Inspiration Project offers immersive experiences that help education leaders think differently about what school can be.

Since 2020, our virtual “field trips” have offered bite-sized access to the most innovative learning environments around the globe. These two-hour events pack a punch – provoking new ideas and stoking a sense of possibility.

2023-2024 Field Trips

Field trips are short and sweet virtual windows into innovative learning models, designed to broaden your perspective and spark new ideas for your own practice. Each is organized around a theme that anchors our collective learning.

This year, we are proud to launch the Inspiration Fellowship, an opportunity for small teams of education leaders to build their inspiration practice. With support of an Inspiration Project team member, they will explore the Field Trips and apply lessons to the pressing questions in their own work.

2022-2023 Rewind

Last year, 382 education leaders signed up to learn from more than 25 incredible organizations.

We looked in our backyard and soaked up lessons from the other side of the world. We looked askance from education, distilling wisdom from trash art and abolitionist nuns. And we made connections to our own work — transforming the day to day of our students.
