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.

Young student in the future

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.

TESTIMONIALS

From past participants who have successfully applied what they learned at the summit to make a difference.

“I had the privilege of witnessing the powerful participation of these summits and I must say, it was truly inspiring both times. It's been a great opportunity to meet different people with common goals, mission and vision which I look forward to continuing to collaborate on and partner with for climate change issues.”

Nissaf S.

Climate Summit attendee

“This summit was more than I’d anticipated! The connection & compounding impact of climate change to already existing global travesty such as those million+ people trapped in modern slavery/trafficking was both eye opening and motivating to work harder towards solutions! Further, the speakers were knowledgeable and experienced; shedding more light on the need for education early on and in multiple avenues! There is so much to learn and educate others on. I found myself discussing the summit’s teachings with numerous friends afterwards! It was riveting and I hope to attend the next summit in July. Thank you WSS for hosting the event! 💜”

“The summit for me was such a revival and heart-warming session. I met Rajesh, who shared his work with regard to fighting climate. The whole discourse was such a beautiful container for me, filled with information and understanding of the systems governing us, versus the disconnect of what the imminent and most important urge for the future is.”

Fiston M.

Climate Summit attendee

“The summit was a transformative experience for me and I am truly thankful for the knowledge, inspiration I gained during the event. The summit provided a platform for young minds like myself to come together, share ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions on topics that are crucial for the future of our society. The insightful workshop and panel discussions challenged my perspectives and broadened my understanding of the pressing issues facing our world today. I was particularly inspired by the diverse range of speakers and their impactful presentations, which have motivated me to become more actively involved in creating positive change within my community.”
