The event’s objective is to build bridges between these different constituencies, share best practices, outline common tasks, and develop solutions to teaching complicated themes that are based on our shared educational mission. Those common values are based on the values of a liberal arts education and the related pursuit of academic truth, whose mission transcends political boundaries.

This series provides insightful dialogues on climate education, equipping us to learn and teach effectively in a changing world.

      In our next episode, "Empowering Learners and Educators in the Face of Climate Disasters," Maggie Favretti ’85 and Claudia Portogallo ’17 PhD (moderator) invite you to bring in your questions for building regenerative community projects locally. You will gain insights into Maggie's book, "Learning in the Age of Climate Disasters – Teacher and Student Empowerment Beyond Futurephobia." (scroll for free support materials). Discover how Maggie’s resources can invigorate your initiatives, fostering agency and resilience.

      During the conversation, we will explore how to overcome feelings of immobilization, overwhelm, and uncertainty, instead enabling connection and impactful community action. Optional break-out rooms at the end of the webinar will facilitate brainstorming for local projects. Maggie’s and Claudia’s work includes collaborations with indigenous communities, climate disaster survivors, local regenerative learning centers, families, and educational institutions. Together, they proactively address climate challenges within their communities.
