Instead, it&#8217;s time for our confab.<\/p>\n<p>An old-school group convo. We&#8217;re talking cafe-style seating. (No auditorium, rows, or half-tables.) Power strips and wireless. \u00a0We&#8217;ll even throw in a little sweet swing as background (music).<\/p>\n<p>Calling folk who deal with young hopes and dreams. We want a conversation with people who encourage, support, nurture, and teach on the street, on the fly, and in places that are not traditionally called classrooms. We want to hear from those of you who work with students and staff in your community to plunge young people into an environment full of color, music, and conversation \u2013 building places for people to come together, find passion, write poetry, and find love.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll get together on February 21, 2014.

Hope you will be able to join us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2014 topic is, \u201cYour Passion and Your Job: Will It Be Gone in Ten Years?\u201d Morning java.
