Every spring since 2018, the Dignified Learning Project has hosted the “Praxis in Education Student Conference.” This conference was created with the vision to provide an event for students passionate about transforming education through educational praxis. Through this event, we aim to provide a space for students and community members to convene, connect, and learn from one another, in order to share and expand on our knowledge with the intent to use education as a force for social justice.
