ABOUT THE SERIES
As we build toward the next global wave of the Next System Teach-Ins in April 2027, the Center for Next System Studies is launching a series of organizer workshops to energize, inform, and showcase the work of local teach-in organizers and their teams.
Participants in these interactive workshops will gain information, tools and strategies aimed directly at the work you are doing in your campus or community to foster learning, collaboration and action toward realizing the just, democratic and sustainable next system.
This will be a space for connection, reflection, and collective learning, centering the experiences of the people moving this work forward.
Next System Teach-In hosted by organizers Alison Chopel and her team at the University of Puerto Rico, San Juan

We know many of you have a wealth of knowledge, materials and resources already available to you. A key goal of this series is to build and strengthen our community of practice as globally-linked, locally rooted next system innovators by gathering this knowledge to co-create and add to the existing shared repository of practical knowledge generated by previous waves of Teach-Ins and gatherings.
