beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship’s Post

#Climatechange refers to long-term shifts in #temperatures and weather patterns. #Human #activities have been the main driver of #climate #change, primarily due to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. To empower young students and teens to develop the agency to act on this pressing concern in today's world, we have put together an amazing program for students worldwide. Students' agency is a critical component of #ClimateEducation and #Leadership. Watch the video and join us as we embark on #Teens #Innovation Week #2024.

A quick breakdown on: - Education: The seed for growth - Unity: We're in this together - Sustainability: Plan for tomorrow Education isn't just book-smarts – it's about understanding different folks and cultures, and how we can all get along. Teaming up globally means we share our wins and challenges, creating a stronger bond. And, we gotta think long-term to make sure our world stays awesome for everyone in the future.

In our fireside chat with Dr. Milica Symul, CEO of iLAuNCH Trailblazer, we delved into the transformative Trailblazer Universities Program. In case you missed it, here are just some of the insights that we gained from this discussion.    🔍 Key Takeaways:   1️⃣ Changing funding landscapes: When sectors face periods of uncertainty due to limited funding, fostering collaboration and engagement with industries becomes crucial for stimulating growth and innovation, especially for those in their early stages like Australia's space sector.  2️⃣ Future Outlook: To address world's pressing challenges like climate change and efficient resource management recognising space technology as an indispensable component for progress and sustainability across many sectors is imperative.  3️⃣ Economic Edge through Sustainability: A unique opportunity to cultivate a competitive edge in sustainability emerges through the strategic integration of technology into an economic framework.    Let's work towards a future where space innovation serves as a beacon of progress and sustainability! 🛰️    #TrailblazerProgram #SpaceTech #Collaboration #SustainabilityAdvantage #FutureInnovation #IndustryCollaboration 

How do we navigate the alignment between personal and planetary transformation? It begins by shifting from a changemaker to a co-creator mindset. As changemakers, we're externally focused, targeting visible impact. As co-creators, we're cultivating transformation from the inside out: - How does who we think we are shape how we relate to the world? #idgs - Are we an isolated or intra-connected self? (Daniel Siegel) Where changemakers respond to domain-specific challenges, co-creators endeavor on a universal mission to nurture the embedded connections between our personal, social, ecological, and cosmological well-being. The changemaker approach is at the heart of conventional sustainability narratives. Rooted in externally biased framing, it limits our capacity to shift from incremental to transformative systems change. The Four Dimensions of Deep Being, Pilgrim Road's core curriculum, reframes sustainability from the co-creator's perspective and invites audiences into a new conversation about our shared future. #sustainabilitystorytelling #sustainabilitytransformation #cocreation #integrativehealth #personalgrowth #systemschange #intraconnection

Dear Network, Are you interested in following our Value Creators journey, and perhaps looking for new collaborations with future Value Creators students who will dive into diverse complex issues? We invite you to create an account on the Value Creators platform: https://lnkd.in/ebktt8-B , created by Global Project and Change Management (GPCM) | Windesheim Honours College, and Maria García Alvarez, MA from Windesheim. Here you can find insights, conversations, end products, and so on, from previous groups, who each take a closer look at other topics related to the Sustainable Development Goals! This also applies to our journey, diving into the prevention of burnout in higher education, focused on both teachers and students, through the lenses of collective trauma. We share insights from the beginning of the semester, up until the end of it. You can read through the conversations we had with many professionals, and in a few weeks, see what the end product will be! This semester is not over yet, so we would like you to think with us about how we can create value in this complex issue, in the form of an end product. Do you have any ideas or inspirations? Please feel free to join the conversation on the platform or send us a message! Here is the link to our personal page: https://lnkd.in/eSyAUzeX #ValueCreators #FutureCollaborations #SustainableDevelopmentGoals #JointheConversation #TheGlocalNetwork

🌍 As part of Global Goals Week, our video series continues with an inspiring talk from Maria Cullinane, who shares how she empowered students to take ownership of the #SDGs in her Engineering for Sustainability module. By challenging them to create a sustainable product or process, students actively engaged with the SDGs. The peer-to-peer learning aspect added even more value, fostering collaboration and innovation. 🚀 Discover how you can inspire students to make a real impact through sustainability-focused education. Transform education for a better tomorrow – integrate SDGs into your teaching today! 💡🌱 #TransformEducation #GlobalGoals #Sustainability #EngineeringForSustainability #SDGsInAction #PeerLearning #GlobalGoalsWeek
