Location: Georgia State University- College of Law | 85 Park Pl NE, Atlanta, GA 30303
We are excited to announce the upcoming collaborative conference, "Education for Liberation: Requiem and Renaissance", a collaboration between The Alonzo A. Crim Center for Urban Educational Excellence and The CREATE Project.
We offer this conference in remembrance of those that came before us. We honor those educational trailblazers that provided a pathway of resilience and resistance and our using their works as a catalyst of the work we continue to do. Our requiem is never ending and is a celebration of those individuals, groups, movements, ideas, ways of know that have come before us and on whose shoulders we stand in this work.
At the same time, we must collaboratively showcase uplift and center the voices, experiences, and knowledge of historically marginalized communities and work to collectively imagine and enact ways of doing and being that dissolve barriers and pave the way for liberation. We must prioritize critical consciousness, community empowerment, and social justice. We must draw inspiration from liberatory spaces to re-birth new spaces for learning. We must challenge dominant deficit focused narratives.
During this collaborative conference, we seek to honor the work of educational trailblazers, while embracing the renaissance of education innovation.

About the CREATE CRP Institute
We are excited to come and learn together as we continue connecting the dots of our culturally relevant pedagogy (CRP) journeys across all aspects of our work. This institute is not a place to 'sit and receive' information — we have intentionally designed this institute to be a space for us all to actively participate in sharing our learnings across our positions in this work.
There will be whole group sessions, content area-specific facilitated sessions with Georgia State University faculty, and time to work in shared learning teams.
CRP Institute Goals:
- Explore relationships between shared learning and CRP
- Connect current CRP conversations, practices and research to educator-derived, context-specific curriculum or dilemmas (problems of practices)
- Provide facilitated opportunities for curated, content area-specific and CRP-focused shared learning experiences that are educator-derived and context-specific [ie., focus on a specific curricular area or specific school context situated dilemma (problems of practices)]
Attendees will be able to:
- Discuss where you are in your CRP experience/journey and areas you want to further explore over this next year and beyond
- Have an understanding of what shared learning is and how it can connect to CRP
- Create a solid framework for using their shared learning experience in their schools/work
Please note: This institute is not open to the public. Information on any public institutes, including registration, will be posted here on the CREATE website TBD.
