World Savvy Sustainable Institute in NYC

Thursday, October 4th: 8:30 am - 3:30 pm & Friday, October 5th: 8:30 am - 3:30 pm

Join World Savvy for our Sustainable Communities Institute to explore the political, environmental, economic, and social dimensions of the long term maintenance of well being. This two-day workshop will model a variety of interactive teaching and learning strategies to engage diverse students in an examination of issues such as sustainable development, energy, food, water, transport and design on a local, national and global scale. We invite middle and high school social studies, science, math, language and creative arts teachers, school administrators, non-profit leaders working with youth, and graduate students interested in global education to join us.

 Workshop participants receive hard copies of all materials, including the “Sustainable Communities Collaborator’s Guide,” as well as free enrollment in the World Savvy Challenge. Both programs engage middle and high school students and are designed to build the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviors necessary for global competence.
