World Savvy

World Savvy's very own Dana Curran Mortenson was interviewed by Institute for Humane Education's Zoe Weil about Creating a Globally Competent Generation. "I am more hopeful now than I have ever been about the potential for change in education." Find out why in the interview below! https://humaneeducation.org/creating-a-globally-competent-/

We have some incredibly exciting news! The Enlight Foundation, a critical World Savvy partner for the last five years, has made a generous $5 million investment in World Savvy’s continued national growth. This gift from Enlight kick-starts our campaign to raise $26.5 million over the next five years toward national expansion to reimagine an education system grounded in the skills and dispositions young people need to navigate our complex, diverse, and interconnected world. We... are so grateful to the Enlight Foundation for helping to accelerate the momentum for this movement. It will take all of us to reimagine the future of education. Will you join us and support a generation of engaged global citizens, preparing them to thrive today and shape tomorrow’s worlda more just, equitable and sustainable world, where all youth can leverage their agency as changemakers?

Thriving schools create thriving communities! We're so inspired by our interview with Dana Mortenson of World Savvy. "We see thriving schools as places where ...community is not separate, but central; where students feel a sense of belonging and agency in their own learning and can connect it to the real world, in their neighborhoods, communities, and across the globe."
