In addition, the Learning Dreams Unsettlement House will be asking everyone: “What do you want to learn? What do you want to try? What new thing are you dreaming of doing? The Unsettlement House is a mobile collection of inspiring learning objects. It is designed to connect people to the possibilities for learning in their lives and in their community. Its goal is to bring individual learning dreams and collective educational capacities to the surface of community life. Look for the Unsettlement House around Prospect Park before and after the carnival.
