Upcoming Event
Building Our Resilient Future: Education Driving Hope, Innovation, and Action
Wednesday, May 10, 2023
10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
Askwith Hall
In conversation with national and local leaders, we'll highlight an action-oriented agenda for the education sector with innovation and engagement as drivers for climate resilience and mitigation. We'll show how schools and communities are already making an impact in confronting climate change — altering our use of resources, creating exciting learning opportunities, and advancing equity in community approaches. We'll explore ways to accelerate progress, to spur collective effort, and to act with urgency. And we'll ask participants to share stories of where they are finding hope and momentum now.
In person and open to the public. Additional details and registration coming soon. Presented by the Askwith Education Forum.
