One highlight of 2022 was when The Teach Out hosted its second retreat event, RetreatOut 1.5, in Portland, Oregon in June 2022. It involved an intimate and productive gathering of thinkers, creators, and learners from across the United States engaging around our core ideas including sessions on the necessity for evolving frameworks of DEI work and infrastructures of restorative justice. The launch dinner was held at Akādi, a West African restaurant in SE Portland not to be missed.
In 2024, The Teach Out will launch its third retreat event, RetreatOut 2.0, held in the Southern US and centered around racial justice. STAY TUNED for more information!
