CODiEs gathered in Kitchener, ON for three days of collegiality, laughter, inspiration, venting, and collective imagining about the future. 70 educators as well as high school students and undergraduate students engaged in thoughtful sessions about the integration of technological tools and the ways that drama and dance connect us more deeply to another in a time of disconnection.
It was a great day at OISE for CODE on the Road in Toronto. Educators from all levels participated in drama and dance workshops from a wide variety of presenters with diverse backgrounds.
