During this banner 20th Anniversary year for Cairn Guidance, we are offering a 4-part series of FREE webinars around our Systems Simulations. Each has a different topic/focus, and the first two have invited guests that represent higher education, Departments of Education, non-profits, and consultants. We hope you’ll join us for these short sessions to learn more about the what/how/why of our games for change management in K-12 education and communities. If you miss one, don’t worry, we’ll post on our YouTube!
