Emerge Book Circles is excited to partner with MYFest25 to support some of its attendees to read deeper in community with others, through its book circle model.
What is a book circle?
A book circle is an intersection of learning and community building — it’s collaborative and transformational learning rolled into one. It’s human connection through books.
Participating in a book circle allows participants to engage in ongoing generative conversations with peers; step back from the day to day to see the bigger picture, challenge their assumptions, re-envision how they work and live, learn with and from one another, create deeper human connections, and so much more.
The book acts as the platform and the subject-matter expert, and the facilitator as the bridge between consuming and creating, by way of connected learning. Unlike traditional learning and development structures, the goal is not to teach or deliver content, but to create space for wisdom to emerge from within the individuals and the group.
This is the “Joy-Centered Pedagogy in Higher Education” book circle, where we will explore the ideas from the book in community with other readers and learners.
The sessions will be on Thursdays at 5:00pm Cairo/4:00pm CEST/11:00am EST, on the following dates:
June 12th (Session duration: 1 hour)
June 26th (Session duration: 90 minutes)
July 3rd (Session duration: 90 minutes)
July 10th (Session duration: 90 minutes)
July 17th (Session duration: 90 minutes)
July 24th (Session duration: 1 hour)
These sessions will NOT be open to the whole of MYFest, and will be hosted on a separate Zoom link, so please know that in advance. A cohort of the same participants creates a more connected learning experience.
This includes a separate registration that is posted in the first two iterations of this event on the schedule. Registration is capped so if you aren’t able to register anymore, it is because all spaces have been filled.
