How do we help learners move beyond understanding environmental problems to actually addressing them? In this interactive webinar, Compass Education Executive Director Nicole Swedlow and longtime systems thinking and sustainability educator Gitanjali Paul will explore how systems thinking can deepen environmental learning and spark meaningful action.

Participants will learn practical strategies to help learners identify root causes, recognize leverage points, and uncover pathways for positive change. The session will introduce the Sustainability Compass, a powerful tool educators can use to design learning experiences that build agency and empower learners to take informed action.

Whether you work in classrooms, nature centers, or community programs, you’ll leave with ideas and tools to help learners see the bigger picture—and their role in shaping a more sustainable future.

All registrants will receive the recording.
