Please hold the date and consider proposing a presentation for the 2026 International Transformative Learning Conference:

The Art of Co-Creating Change: Learning, Acting, and Transforming Collectively

North Carolina State University

Raleigh, North Carolina, USA

October 21-23, 2026

Website: https://itlc2026.intertla.org/

“Transformative learning (TL) is an area of research and theory that addresses the potential of learning for profound personal and social change. The theme of this conference centers on the transformative power of learning to address the collective challenges of our time—both locally and globally. … We invite participants to explore how transformative learning can catalyze both large- scale and small-scale transformations necessary to navigate today’s interconnected challenges.”

I will be one of several keynote speakers. There will also be a preconference on October 20, 2026, in which one strand will be “Civic Studies: Co-creating Our Shared Worlds.” That portion will be facilitated by Tetyana Hoggan-Kloubert (Universität Augsburg, Germany) and me. According to the blurb:

“This workshop invites participants to reflect on the possibilities and challenges of co-creating our worlds—exploring civic politics, initiatives, capacity, society, and culture. It is open to newcomers curious about civic studies, as well as former participants of the Institute of Civic Studies, offering a space to connect, think globally, and act transformatively.

“Since 2009, Peter Levine, and since 2015, Tetyana Hoggan-Kloubert (with colleagues) have hosted the Institute of Civic Studies in different countries as a living tradition of learning, acting, and co-creating change.”
