Educating for Sustainability Brochure
Climate change is the defining challenge of our time, and its most severe impacts will disproportionately affect future generations. As educators, we have a moral responsibility to equip young people with the skills needed to tackle these threats. This is why sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at UWC.
Our mission to make education a force for peace and sustainability drives us to empower students to become resourceful, ambitious, and inspiring changemakers. Education must evolve to address the dynamic, interconnected nature of global challenges. To thrive in future careers, young people need the freedom to explore and create solutions. They must experience how their actions can drive positive change for our planet.
At UWC, sustainability education goes beyond theory—it is experiential. We require agile, innovative teachers who mentor students through systems-based learning to understand and help solve the climate crisis. When education, youth, and opportunity converge, powerful systemic changes occur. We intend to scale up sustainability learning opportunities across all the UWC campuses for generations to come.
