World Economic Forum speeches, climate protests, and action groups\u2014<\/span>including Knowledge Building Tomorrow’s Innovators\u2014<\/span>suggest the power of individuals and groups taking action for public good. Yet, the role of education in the world\u2019s \u2018ecological crisis\u2019 is hardly in sight. Crises demanding action include climate change, exhaustion of human and natural resources, ethical and religious tensions, conflicts in multicultural societies, growing gaps between rich and poor across all spectrums of life, and unstable societies leading to record numbers of people fleeing war, violence or persecution. The challenges are profound, requiring collective responsibility, sustained creative work, and the ability to deal with complexity well beyond that required by school tasks and token activism. Knowledge Building engages students directly in the means by which knowledge in the world is advanced, and then asks them to do heavy-lifting of their ideas so they are on trajectory for making the world a better place. Please join us in taking up this challenge together at this year\u2019s Knowledge Building Institute. Together – we can make a difference.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
