Summary

As culture and technology evolve rapidly, education struggles to keep up. The CultTech Educational Program, grounded in European experience, explores how to teach without fixed curricula or best practices, focusing on real, unsolved challenges. In a world where voices can be borrowed, critical issues unfold through games, and digital tools defy the physical limits of traditional creation, this Meet Up invites diverse communities to share ideas and test how they resonate with an American audience. Join us to ask tough questions and imagine future-ready learning together.
