The VIRTUAL Toronto Summer Institute

IS Underway! Respect for the pandemic has determined that we were not able to gather face-to-face in Toronto in summer 2020. We could have said ‘so be it’. But the Institute (TSI) has always been on the edge of new practices, experiments, ideas. Thus, we have been working to invent the Virtual Toronto Summer Institute (TSI) 2020.

Ideas That Matter

On Thursday, November 12, 2020, TSI conducted a mash up of the creativity and energy of what TSI Alumni will know as “the Speak Easy” (based on ‘speed dating’) and the “Learning Marketplace” (based in the Art of Hosting practice of Open Space, conceptualized by Harrison Owen).

Learning Marketplace follow-up sessions are live now for Registration!

Inclusion and Education are big topics — and we have been in these trenches for over 40 years. Our ‘family of friends’ have been prolific, thoughtful, creative and relentless in efforts to share constructive options, thoughtful practices, helpful hints. Below are a ‘selection’ of articles that have been gleaned over the years.

Change Makers

Our history of change

We have had the privilege of working with many remarkable colleagues who share life long passions to build a world that welcomes the talents and capacities of every person into participation in community life. We have created collections (libraries) of some of the key articles, videos and resources created individually and collaboratively - mostly "free downloads”. These treasured resources reflect decades of work by creators and actors in the cultural struggle to introduce and nurture basic concepts like ‘inclusion’ and ‘person-centered’ work for all.

Welcome

Inclusion Press is about inclusion — for all — in education and community. Here are resources to purchase, to download (free), and to research the deep history of inclusion. Welcome!
