Cooperative Catalyst

Location: Eugene, Oregon

The vision of Cooperative Catalyst is for passionate educators to challenge one another to propose sustainable solutions and structures for re-imagining schools and education, supporting one another to enact and refine the ideas. The mission is to educate and push ALL community members to: acknowledge, accept and embrace contemporary ways of self-directed learning both in and out of school; ask new, reformative questions; and offer new, workable proposals for both formal and non-formal learning communities in lean fiscal times. Cooperative Catalyst is built on an open collaborative model, where people who are passionate about education, the issues we face in schools and the world-at-large come together to have meaningful discussions.
