Montessori ACTion for Equity: Acknowledge, Contemplate, Transform

November 2020

Both Montessori pedagogy and comedic improvisation share the fundamental tenets of creating collaborative communities through respect and celebration of individuals’ unique perspectives and experiences. During this workshop, participants learned a multitude of games and activities aimed at building common ground through understanding, being present and in-the-moment, and co-creating through joy and play. The exercises were adapted for online participation, giving guides and leaders tools for community engagement even when we are physically distant from each other. Geared toward elementary and adolescent guides, and leaders of teams.
