Transdisciplinary Dialogue: Climate Change Italy

As educators, we are obliged to help all of our students– regardless of discipline– understand the extraordinary moment in which we are living and its potential for change.

For this reason, Gustolab International Italy/Borromini Institute organized the Transdisciplinary Dialogue: Climate Change Italy, adhering to the Worldwide Teach-In on Climate and Justice, of the Graduate Programs in Sustainability at Bard College, in conjunction with partners worldwide and the Open Society University Network.

We are happy to be part of this project which aims to mobilize 1000 Colleges, Universities, High School/Middle Schools, K-6 Schools and Faith Organizations in-person and online, in a one-day Worldwide Teach-In on climate solutions and justice.
