A Message from the Director
“The world and our way of teaching are both at a tipping point.”
“It’s time to provide the children of today with the tools they need now.”
“For this reason, the GWE is now incorporating training in mindfulness, compassion, empathy and connectedness into everything we do in our programs, weaving these trainings throughout each week of science, arts and action.”
I like working with GWE kids because
I’ve never heard a GWE kid say:
“It’s not a big deal if some animals lose habitat because temperatures go up.”
“What can I do? I’m just a kid.”
“It’s not my job to worry about insects.”
“If global warming gets to be a real problem, then somebody will fix it. Right?”
And, I have heard them say:
“Car exhaust is yucky!”
“I like soil because it grows things.”
“Yes. I want to make a speech at the legislature.”
OUR VISION
A society transformed through the voices of children and youth, which, once elevated and given authority, inspire social change toward an equitable, regenerative way of living on the earth.
To educate children in the areas of science, climate science, regenerative solutions, arts, outdoors, civics, mindfulness, advocacy and action, and to create opportunities for them to feel the interconnection between the natural world and their inner world, empowering them to mobilize a human world to support all beings.
“ No matter where they go, (the GWE kids) are going to take what they’ve learned through the GWE and be agents of change. They are serious and they are willing to take their message all the way to the White House.“
