Our friends at The Community-Based Global Learning Collaborative are hosting a fantastic conference this November! Check out the graphic and info below to know how to join.

Place-based Pragmatism & Pedagogy: Food, Land, Culture, & Community Nourishment

November 8 & 9, 2025

with Fair Trade Learning pre-Institute and welcome dinner Friday, November 7

The Beach Institute African American Cultural Center in Savannah, Georgia USA

Our place-based, experiential learning retreat will explore and learn from Gullah-Geechee history, traditions, and culture work. Through field trips participants will learn how community leaders in the region are navigating ecological and economic change. Sustainable agriculture and ethical community partnerships will be the fertile ground for us to consider how we -- leaders, educators and scholars -- can apply these and other innovative principles in their own institutional context.

Co-sponsored by Georgia Southern University Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies program, WPI School of Global Affairs, and Nobis Project
