EmpowerED Climate Summit 5
Let us work together to develop tools and collectively create a strategy to effectively deal with the climate crisis as a global community.
Saturday, October 12th, 10:30 AM EDT
Our current education system was created in alignment with past societal values that did not include sustainability and other crucial elements such as equity, inclusion and justice. Thus, by design, it supports and perpetuates a system that brought about the climate crisis. Recognizing this fundamental flaw is our first step.

What skills might people in the future need to generate ethical and sustainable solutions, and how can education be designed to provide them?
Being able to adapt and respond to a rapidly changing environment, collaborate with one another, shift values and engage in real-world problem solving will benefit young people today as well as tomorrow.
Given the rapid rate at which both the environment and technology are changing, it is difficult to anticipate what challenges lie ahead.
To equip students for an uncertain future, it is optimal to prepare future leaders with strong skills and the capacity to co-create ethical and sustainable solutions. Tomorrow's humanity may require tools beyond knowledge, such as intuition, self-management, technological and creative problem-solving skills, discernment and compassion.

Transforming education to empower future humanity to ensure a thriving world for all.
World Systems Solutions is offering a space to support, develop and collectively strategize on a complete redesign of the world’s educational system and how we learn to be in the world. An educational system that is locally relevant and globally aligned to equip learners with core values is required to regenerate the planet. We can mobilize and reshape our approach to education, fostering generations that are empowered to build and maintain a sustainable planet.
Through a blend of speaker presentations and open group discussion, we will weave together an understanding of the interrelationship of technology, mental/emotional (mind/heart) balance and Earth-based education to form a holistic approach to new learner-centered educational models.
The outcomes of these sessions will be integrated into the PHOENIX Platform, where they can be shared globally and used to create adaptable and scalable educational models for all communities.
