Traditional learning doesn’t always equal results.
In the latest episode of The CFL Podcast, Youth Innovation Associate, Akilah Bello, is joined by her classmate, Gavin, to discuss what they imagine learning beyond the four walls of a classroom can look like.
Gavin, a current high school student, has made photography more than just a hobby. It’s a profession he’s actively pursuing and through real-world skills like creativity, observation and patience, he’s been able to tell stories and be creative outside of the classroom and learned more than he could ever imagine.
This is a testament to how important learning beyond the classroom is. It’s an opportunity for young people to have experiences that set them up for success in their dream careers and allow them to build durable, real-world skills through hands-on learning and one-of-a-kind experiences.
