This year's conference "Uncovering Curiosity: Learning for the Long Game" will feature Erik Shonstrom, a faculty member at Champlain College and author of Wild Curiosity. Together we will explore our individual and collective curiosity, and how we can help our learners peel back the layers of their authentic curious selves to reveal their goals and pathways. What does it mean to learn? We hear the word and think of children seated at desks, raising an eager hand. And yet curiosity, personality, personal history and purpose are just a few of the many ingredients that make up learning moments. Why is it only young people who 'get' to learn? And why at a desk? And what are they learning, anyway? Learning - real learning, the kind that brings about a tectonic shift in personal paradigm - is a highly individualistic enterprise. Once we know ourselves as learners, and we move "confidently in the direction of our dreams" as Thoreau would have it, we change the very world we walk through by augmenting our perception. Learning in this way, bolstered by self-knowledge, is a radical move. Once begun, we're never the same!
