Introduction to the
SUSTAINABILITY MINDSET
Join us in Montepulciano, Tuscany, for
an intensive
Workshop for Educators
July 23 - 25, 2018
The Sustainable Development Goals are the most important agenda for the coming 12 years. There is not one discipline that falls outside of the opportunity to shape a better world. Because there is not one profession that exists outside of our world.
Yet educators are challenged to connect information with values and actions, which cannot be achieved until we develop
a real paradigm shift
.
How can educators of the new generation be prepared to develop this new mindset with their students?

What people say
"Having trained to facilitate a course on Developing a Sustainability Mindset with students
has been one of the most rewarding learning experiences for me. Experiencing students'
realization that we all must do something to contribute to the common good and
becoming aware of how we are driven to consume, has been a very powerful experience."
