Black Men in Education Convening – Nov 21-23

Posted by The Center for Black Educator Development on August 13, 2024

The Center for Black Educator Development is thrilled to host its seventh national Black Men in Education Convening (#BMEC2024) on November 21-23, 2024, in Philadelphia, PA. The convening creates a communal, empathetic space to discuss the deeply emotional, intellectual, and trajectory-altering work revolutionary Black men in education engage in daily.

Through #BMEC2024, we are continuing our tradition of educational activism, professional development, and organizing by convening Black men in education and those who support them to build community with each other through tactical thoughts, words, and actions that will help us to collectively change the lives of students and the school communities in which we serve. Our orientation is to lean and stand on the shoulders of our giants and heroes so that we may lift as we climb.

This in-person convening will feature live sessions that will provide participants with a unique, communal, empathetic space to discuss the deep emotional, intellectual, and trajectory-altering work that revolutionary Black men in education engage in on a daily basis. Our empowering agenda of speakers, panel discussions, and workshops (which we’ll share soon!) will inform, inspire, and activate Black men and others in the educational ecosystem to continue leading with humility and courage.

Please be aware that the convening may sell out before the October 11, 2024 registration deadline.
