The SEMIS Coalition Community Forum

We are excited to share our 13 minute documentary that has just been released. This film is about place-based education and the SEMIS Coalition Community Forum.  Video production was done by Matthew Mancour and Add+On Media Group. We thank him for his hard work, patient questions, and sincere commitment to this work!

We are looking forward to once again hosting a celebration of students’ place-based learning efforts and community action, which will include student led workshops, inter-generational community conversations, highlights of the year from schools and community partners, great food, and our annual SEMIS Coalition Awards.

We are lucky to work with the best teachers, students, partners, field teachers, coaches, and communities!
