GIVE FOR WEAVING
Research is proving again and again that transformation spreads faster through networked action.
Our work is made possible by individuals and future-focused institutions who realize that we need a collaborative approach to creating a new operating system for learning.
Collaborative systems change requires patient relationship building, co-creation and tenacity: all that is only possible (and sustainable!) with financial support.
By supporting weaving, you accelerate transformation at scale
