The HTT Summit 2023 at Ohio State University will become a meeting place for teachers and pedagogy experts from across the globe and an opportunity to debate IDS (Interdisciplinary School Subject), a teaching tool developed by the Holistic Think Tank and its partners.
Where?
Our summit will be held at Ohio State University in Columbus, founded in 1870 and ranked by major institutional rankings among the best public universities in the United States. Former and current faculty and alumni of the university include five Nobel Prize laureates, seven Pulitzer Prize winners, and 108 Olympic medalists. In addition, OSU, with over 1,000 student organizations, is famous for its rich student life program.
HTT Summit 2023 will be located in the center of this unique university community: in Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom. This elegant space, with its beautiful chandeliers and floor-to-ceiling windows, is the perfect venue for a significant event like our summit.
What?
We bring together teachers, administrators, and students to discuss how we can promote meaningful, cross-curricular learning experiences that challenge and engage our students. The HTT summit’s agenda includes a keynote speech by world-renowned education experts, workshops with educators, Q&A sessions, a presentation of the Holistic Think Tank (along with the film projection), and time for casual discussions among teachers).
The first keynote speaker will be Pasi Sahlberg, one of the creators of Finland’s phenomenal education reform, professor of education policy at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, and a former senior specialist at the World Bank in Washington, DC.
