What Today's Kids Need for Tomorrow's World

Description:

Today’s world is volatile and uncertain. 2020 magnified what happens when a centuries-old pandemic—America’s brand of racism and anti-Blackness—collides with an altogether new pandemic, COVID-19. Growing up in the midst of these unprecedented changes and challenges is altering young people's wiring and future prospects. In this talk, author Stephanie Krauss shares what today's kids need to prepare for tomorrow's world, and how that extends beyond the schoolhouse and into the community.
