CIFAL Atlanta - Sustainability Mindset for Education Leaders

Antecedentes
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?
