time sensitive sustainability opportunity

[Liz Cutler]

I am trying to group resources so as not to send so many emails, but this one was time sensitive

1) From Global Education Benchmark Group

offer member schools a unique opportunity for educators and students to participate in a three-part intergenerational sustainability and climate dialogue series hosted by Wellington College (UK).

Learning from the experiences of those who came before us while empowering younger generations to take action is at the heart of intergenerational justice. We can bridge the past, present, and future to safeguard the planet by sharing perspectives, engaging in reflection, tapping into wisdom across generations, and working together. 

In partnership with the Global Education Benchmark Group (GEBG), Wellington College will host a three-part intergenerational and intercultural dialogue series to foster timely and essential conversations. These interactive sessions will address three central themes—our connection with nature, sustainability education, and climate action.

Each dialogue is offered twice. 

+ FACILITATORS: High school students from the dialogue host school, Wellington College. 

*There will be at least one educator in each breakout discussion room.*

+ COST: Free / Member schools and their invited partner schools 

Students who engage in all three dialogues will earn a certificate of participation.
