Do you lov​e cities? Are you passionate about the urban environme​nt and the excitement, possibilities and innovation that exists in Calgary? Are you interested in exploring the role that public education plays in the lives of Calgarians and the democratic process surrounding it?

2School brings together teachers, students and community experts for a week-long curriculum-based experience utilizing the downtown urban environment as our classroom. This program is situated at the CBE Education Center in the Beltline, and encourages Calgarians to learn, talk about, and celebrate public education and our vibrant rich inner city neighbourhoods and the many exciting things they have to offer!

  • Citizenship and society; how are decisions made?
  • How can innovation be used to change the world we live in?

  • What is the role of 'play' in our lives?
