Jan 16: Inspire lecture with Place-Based Education

Inspire Speakers Series Returns with Place-Based Education: Making School More Like a Farmers’ Market Start the new year off right with Phipps and Green Building Alliance at our next Inspire Speakers Series event! On Jan. 16, author and educator David Sobel will show us how a place-based approach to education allows kids to explore their communities and local resources, while Executive Director Jane Werner will share how The Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh puts this theory into action. The gorgeous backdrop of Phipps is a perfect place to take in an inspiring presentation. Enjoy light refreshments and networking with attendees before presentations begin at 6 p.m. You may also register to join the speakers for dinner at The Porch after the event. 5 – 8 p.m. at the Phipps Events Hall.  Learn More and Register
