Erase the Space is hosting a 6-week exchange with parents, teachers, and other stakeholders in education from across the central Ohio area to grapple with the question, "What future do we want for our children in Central Ohio?"
The parent, teacher, stakeholder exchange in January and February will mimic what our students go through but has been adjusted for adults in the community. We hope to give our participants an understanding of what we do with students while addressing needs for critical conversations in their lives.
We invite you to be part of this conversation with participants across Central Ohio to reimagine what kind of community our metro area can be.

How do we talk about race and privilege now?
In the wake of aggressive pushback to discussions of race and privilege in the classroom, NExT Hub is hosting conversations for educators across the central Ohio area for support and solace. These conversations will be a place of interrogation, collaboration, and support for teachers impacted by the anti-CRT movement.
These conversations will be on the first Wednesday of each month from 7:30-8:30p. The first meeting will be November 3. Make what conversations you can, these will be consistently running throughout the school year. All meetings will be on Zoom.
