CREATING COUNTERPARTS - A Film Discussion 

The Motley Crew Discussion Group brings together diverse thinkers for lively, thought-provoking conversations on education, innovation, and the future of learning. Rooted in curiosity and open dialogue, these gatherings challenge assumptions, spark new ideas, and foster meaningful connections among educators, life-long learners, and changemakers passionate about reimagining what school could be. The Motley Crew Discussion Group flips the traditional discussion model—participants read, watch, or listen to thought-provoking content before gathering.

During the course of the 1999-2000 school year, two groups of high school students, one from Holcomb, Missouri population 531 and the other from New York City population 10,000,000, worked together to create a mural about their perceptions of one another and the communities they lived in.
