IE Circle is composed of three independent stand-alone experiences, each devised to arm educators and practitioners with clarity, precision and skill necessary for the successful creation and implementation of Jewish immersive experiences.
Combining insights and tools from diverse fields along with M²’s signature educational approach, each of the three seminars will expose participants to cutting-edge models of educational design, as well as pedagogic principles drawn from Jewish wisdom.
Each seminar includes uniquely designed lab environments, facilitated by world-class educators, for participants to experiment with – and begin mastering – their newly acquired learnings and have the opportunity to apply the content to the design of their own programs.
Limited to 20 educators per gathering, participants may apply for one, two or all three seminars; registration by application only.
Harness the power of narrative and genre to create captivating and meaningful educational initiatives.
Immersive experiences can be designed to unfold as compelling narratives, in which learners are at the center of the drama. Integrating current research and cutting-edge approaches from the fields of storytelling, filmmaking and the core principles of genre, this seminar provides participants with the tools, skills and creative space to transform educational programs by mastering the foundations of narrative design. Additionally, participants will learn how well curated program arcs inform the process of narrative identity.
Key benefits:
Master core principles in architecture and design to boost the impact of educational experiences
Educational immersive experiences often follow familiar paradigms and routines. Yet the structure, sequence and rhythm of a program can significantly enhance its impact, and mastering these can provide educators with a new lens for educational design.
With New York City as a backdrop, and guided by architects and educators, this seminar is a live exploration and analysis of how spatial design and core principles in architecture can influence the process of educational immersion, providing participants with practical frameworks and a fresh set of tools to enhance and transform experiential education.
Key benefits:
Enhance your ability to facilitate the processes of growth and change
A well-designed educational experience is greater than the sum of its parts. When carefully facilitated, it induces growth and change, and provides learners with opportunities for personalized meaning making.
Designed in partnership with psychologists and neuroscientists, this seminar provides participants with a broad range of strategies that can help their learners process transformative educational experiences and examine – through case studies and role-plays – how facilitation techniques impact the processes of identity formation.
Key benefits:
M² Circles: The Design of Immersive Experiences is ideal for educators and program designers (of students of all ages) seeking to enhance their ability to create, facilitate and lead educational immersive experiences that are at least 2 days or longer.

M² represents Machshava and Ma’aseh-Intention and Action- two values whose interplay is at the core of Jewish life. At M² we believe that these values are the foundations of experiential Jewish education. M² is also Melechet Machshevet – Deliberate Craft – an idea that guided the building of the Mishkan, the tabernacle.
