Inspiring Local Education

Interested in expanding education and learning in your community? Spend the day exploring Junction’s learning spaces, getting inspired by local presenters, and uncovering connections across the region.

From modernizing the local library to improving teacher retention to creating safe spaces for youth - come get inspired as we learn what works, what doesn't, and what you can bring back to your own community!
