When three EE powerhouses come together, you know it will be good! This resource is an incredible tool for educators wanting to engage their students in systems thinking activities required to understand the complexities of climate change. I love how this guide makes it easy to find the best activity for your audience based on age group and topic. Having this collaborative document helps educators draw the connections between Earth’s systems and will help students solidify their understanding of the world around them and their role in it. By providing an array of activity types for all learning styles, these activities will help students better understand complex EE topics and be able to protect their environment!

Design for Change’s Design Sprint Podcasts cover a variety of topics rooted in the UN Sustainable Development Goals and tackle a comprehensive array of issues around the environment, inequalities, and mental and social health. I love how these Sprints encourage students to use compassion as a powerful tool and build their capacity to improve the world around them! They are also hosting the #DoGoodFromHome Challenge to provide ways to engage while we stay home, social distance, and more as we fight to prevent the spread of COVID-19. And I also really like the ability to address the local to global perspective by allowing teams to compete to represent the U.S. at the annual Design for Change Global Conference.

I love the newly added sections that cover how to host impactful digital teach-ins that will empower your audiences and communities to take on civic action and stewardship activities. I think this resource is a highly effective tool for bringing your community together and building capacity to make change. For those needing ideas for which topics to cover, the Topic Grab Bag section of the toolkit is a great place to find specific information on teach-ins for plastics pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, food sustainability, air and water quality, food waste and security, agriculture and deforestation, and flooding and drought. With suggestions on what speakers to invite and calls to action to end with, this toolkit is great for hosting in-person and virtual events!
