Designed in collaboration with the University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership, the Regenerative Futures Education and Sustainability Leadership Conference, represents a unique opportunity for Canadian, North & South American and Pacific Rim schools and organisations to come together in a spirit of solidarity so that, together, we can nurture the culture shift required to meet the most urgent challenges of our time.
The three-day conference will bring together students, teachers and leaders from national and international systems of education, with policymakers, leaders in business and industry and climate experts. Following Otto Scharmer’s “Theory U”, the conference experience will reflect First Nation Learning Principles and engage with sustainability and systems thinking through the connected lenses of Indigenous Knowledge, Regenerative Leadership & Sustainable Systems. Through a series of carefully choreographed, intense engagements and facilitated reflection, we will work collaboratively to investigate these themes and embrace the imperative of education and leadership to shape a pathway to a better, more peaceful and sustainable future.
By critically evaluating the role of education, fostering cross-sector collaboration, and creating networks for action, attendees will be equipped with practical tools, innovative strategies, and a shared vision to drive impactful change within their schools/organisations, communities, and beyond. Through a dynamic combination of leadership action groups, story telling, and critical, compassionate engagement, the conference will enthuse delegates with a spirit of active hope. The experience will empower delegates to lead with renewed purpose and model sustainable practices whilst providing opportunities to connect with leadership across sectors.
