EmpowerED Climate Summit

April 6, 2024

Preparing Tomorrow’s Leaders and World Builders through Education

If we are to empower tomorrow's leaders to adapt to and wisely navigate in an environment characterized by climate crisis, technological disruption, evolving work landscapes, and eroding institutional trust, then it is vital to carefully craft the education we offer today. To create sustainable global systems, these leaders will need to be world builders--creative problem-solvers and entrepreneurs--operating in transdisciplinary and collaborative modes which prioritize ethics and equity while simultaneously wielding with discernment the technological tools available.

This highlights the urgent need for a profound redesigning of educational models to support the development of sustainable global systems. We invite you to this rolling workshop series designed to proactively address the demands of our swiftly evolving world.

Join us for our next EmpowerED Workshop on Saturday, April 6, 9:00am - 1:30pm EDT

These workshops feature an interactive blend of speaker presentations and group discussions. We are actively seeking input on how to catalytically transform education to meet the current needs of the world.

We welcome everyone who wants to collaborate hand-in-hand in support of future generations. We invite youth, university representatives, climate experts, curriculum developers, advisory boards, parents, government officials, leaders in technology and social change makers to create an adaptable educational model that will carry us forward into a new paradigm.
