Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Symposium: June 8, 2022 [Video]

COABE’s mission is to inspire educators so adults succeed and communities thrive. We provide leadership, professional development, advocacy, and communication services that encourage greater consciousness and cultural competency in our interactions with teachers, administrators, adult learners, and our partners. We are committed to using our platform and influence to celebrate, engage with, and listen to all adult education communities and diverse voices of our field.

Our organization created the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiative in 2020, which has grown steadily over the last two years, leading change and impact for the field of adult education. We invite you to read our recap of activities and contact us if you have related resources that can be shared with the field.

COABE, together with national leaders will hold the first of its kind Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Symposium for the field of adult education on June 8, 2022. This one day virtual event will provide targeted professional development on topics including racial equity, immigrant integration, prison literacy and equity for the justice involved, digital equity, learning disabilities, differences, and difficulties, and how to encourage adult learners to take their place as leaders.

Each participant will have the opportunity to hear from topical experts and then join attendees in breakout rooms to discuss implementation at the local level. When you join the conversation, you will also be able to access a toolkit of actionable resources that can be used right away. Our goal is that you will leave the symposium inspired and ready to make changes.
