EVENTS
The bi-annual Learning Session brings together parents, families, and individuals across multiple institutions in Cincinnati. They are an opportunity to learn and work together as we strive to transform the trajectory of Cincinnati’s kids.
Past learning sessions have showcased improvement projects from across the network — see below for materials and examples.
With the past 2 years of dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic, we have adjusted with a shift to remote learning sessions. Though these sessions have looked different, we have continued to learn together, and look forward to the evolution of these events over the coming year.
May 2024 Learning Session
Join us on May 7, for the All Children Thrive Learning Session from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Sharonville Convention Center!
The theme for this year's spring session is "Applying Upstream Thinking to Remove Barriers and Take Action."
This year, you’ll learn about Upstream Thinking during our new Capability Building Session. This session is focused on giving you the skills and knowledge you need to streamline your operations and make progress on your improvement projects.
During this session you will learn how social, economic, and environmental systems lead to community challenges, and study real life examples of effective upstream work and receive helpful diagrams and tools to apply to your own work.
Apply learnings from the Capability Building session in our Community Discussion breakouts!
Our Community Discussion breakouts are designed to provide collaborative and informative ways for you to learn, connect, and share information. This year's featured breakout sessions are:
Breakout #1: Equitable Health
Explore root causes of unnecessary child hospitalizations, emphasizing healthcare disparities.
Discuss community-based initiatives to reduce hospitalizations and enhance health outcomes, particularly for underserved communities.
Engage in dialogue about addressing systemic healthcare inequities and ensuring equitable access for all children.
Breakout #2: Path to Full Potential
Explore equitable pathways for all children's academic and developmental success, integrating high-quality early childhood education and community-based supports.
Discuss strategies for maximizing academic, social, and job readiness from pre-K to 12, including connections to extracurriculars and workforce opportunities.
Address school necessities for optimal learning, including medical and mental health care, basic needs, and a capable, stable workforce.
Breakout #3: Safe and Supported Families
Address social determinants of health and economic systems that impact thriving.
Discuss expansion of community learning systems to reduce food insecurity and child abuse and neglect.
Discuss ways to share information and use connected data to achieve shared objectives, enhance community capability, and foster intentional partnerships.
