35th Annual NRJE Conference
June 1 – 21, 2022
Free, open to everyone, and virtual
This year, we have an opportunity to try a new format for the NRJE conference.
We decided to take the limitations presented by yet another COVID year to experiment with the ways in which we might try to engage one another around our share interests, commitments, and insights.
So we decided to take a radical approach. Instead of staging the conference in zoom rooms that resemble conference rooms, we are organizing the conference around four different ways to engage:
-
Live Virtual Events
– Two live events (open to NRJE members only) featuring speakers, award announcements, and other news about the Network. -
Podcast
– Eight episodes of an all-new podcast series, featuring leading thinkers in the field discussing pressing issues in Jewish education -
Conversations
– Five live, virtual facilitated opportunities to discus crucial questions and pressing challenges. -
Channels
– Ongoing conversations, seeded and led by and for participants about issues important to you. Talk about what you want with others who share your passions and interests.
Where is all this happening? on the NRJE Discord Server! (Discord is a free cloud-based space for community, conversation, and exchange. It’s like a chat room but with individual channels and other stuff, too).
And the NRJE has its very own server!
