An invitation to an action oriented
think tank . . . not a talkfest.

Join the RCE Making Change Stick action to help attack the problem identified above by George Dennison in 1969.
Where to energize and build alliances.

Shifting conversations from what we want to how to get what we want. As much as time permits, familiarize yourselves with the current thinking in these resources: Making Change Stick, The Agentic Schools Manifesto and World Systems Solutions prior to the sessions. Obtain .pdf files of the books here.
What is RCE Making Change Stick? It is five sessions spread between April 22 and the end of May aimed at shifting conversations from what we want to how to get what we want, and then to act accordingly. All sessions will be recorded with updates provided after each session. People are welcome to participate according to their capacity. Register to be kept informed. Content will draw from the recently published books Making Change Stick and The Agentic Schools Manifesto, and from the visions of World Systems Solutions.

UCY collaborated with supporters of the RCEN to produce 26 events for the 2025 Learning Planet Festival. Descriptions and recordings of the events can be viewed here. A Festival organizer had the following to say about the RCEN involvement:
“The whole LearningPlanet Festival team has been really impressed by your ideas to further engage participants and your incredibly generous contributions to this year’s Festival. The Rights-Centric Education Network has been one of the top contributors in terms of number of events submitted. For this, and for your inspiring dedication, merci 🙏”
