Educator Summer Institute

Chords of Esperanza! CU 91ÃÛÌÒ¸ó’s BUENO Center and A Queer Endeavor are coming together to foster a unique and collective learning experiencia that will bring forth new melodías in the chorus for intersectional justice. We envision this gathering as both refuge and rally: an opportunity to amplify voices and histories too often silenced, to dance to the music of our ancestors, and to weave new possibilities. Together, we will listen, learn, and move in concert while composing soundscapes of educational futures rooted in justicia.Ìý
