Our Learning Journey
Every How to Change the World program guides participants like you through the same overarching Learning Journey — one that over 6,500 participants have experienced since 2014.
Our fully-virtual program
Our fully virtual programs will provide you with a global network while empowering you to tackle real-world sustainability and innovation challenges from the comfort and safety of your home.
The experience
Students who participate in our one-of-a-kind experiential program work in international, interdisciplinary teams to tackle the world's sustainability challenges.
Educators who join our programs benefit from our signature Train-the-Trainer program that provides them with the knowledge and practice to design and deliver experiential education... even in fully-virtual environments.
