Climate/ Justice Teach-In

The World Wide Teach-In is an event focused on creating Climate and Justice dialogues at K-12 Schools, Colleges, Universities, and greater communities across the globe.

Today our communities have about a twenty-year window- working as artists, scientists, engineers, writers, business people, advocates, musicians, teachers– to stabilize the climate and profoundly change the future. The goal of the Teach-In is to grow students with widespread climate despair into citizens with the agency to take action and the purpose of understanding that our faculty can insightfully provide.

Free and open to all. Presented in person at the Museum of the White Mountains or attend virtually via Zoom. Attend one or both sessions. Pre-registration is required. Click here to register.
