Deeper Learning Global (DLg) aims to build regional Deeper Learning networks through smaller conferences held across the globe. These events are inspired by and affiliated with the international Deeper Learning (DL) conference in San Diego. The regional versions of DL yield lasting connections among participants by utilizing a cadre of local facilitators, speakers, musicians and artists to engage in collaborative and transformative learning experiences for educators.
