PAST 50TH ANNIVERSARY EVENTS
Wednesday, April 2: Harvesting the Spirit of Transcendentalism in Education Today.
On Wednesday evening, April 2, over 50 people attended Harvesting the Spirit of Transcendentalism in Education Today, a panel presentation and discussion on how Concord’s Transcendentalist roots have informed best practices in education up to the present day. Moderator Jenny Rankin gave an overview of Transcendentalism and its beliefs around education, while educators Betsy Siebert, Elise Mott and Tracie Dunn discussed how Transcendentalism is reflected in their teaching practice and gave examples of “passion projects” that are grounded in Transcendentalist beliefs.
The evening took place in the Goodwin Forum at the Concord Free Public Library and was co-sponsored by the Transcendentalism Council of First Parish in Concord. In addition to honoring CCC’s 50th anniversary, this event was part of the Concord250 celebrations. Watch the video of the panel on the Minuteman Media YouTube channel!
