SXSW EDU 2020
Sustainability & Social Justice in K-12 Schools
Description:
Creating a culture of sustainability can permeate all aspects of a school district. A commitment to sustainability from leadership can save costs and reduce ecological impacts; and enhance social, emotional and physical health of all who work, learn and play in our schools. However, the potential impact on social justice often gets overlooked. Join us to explore the benefits and barriers to implementing a framework at the intersection of leadership, environment and equity.
