Call for FLAMtations
Throwing a FLAM is a profound balance of creative freedom and educational integrity. FLAM started with a need for a new way a learning, and a new way of co-creating the learning spaces we inhabit with all those involved--namely the STUDENTS themselves, but it doesn’t stop there. Talented, passionate, and cutting edge artists, educators, and learners are needed for our FLAM to be all that it has the potential to be.
