Our incredible Teaching Team was comprised of educators from around the world along with former How to Change the World program alumni. Their role was critical in creating a nurturing environment that empowered all others to effectively collaborate during our 3-day Bootcamp.

60+ Community Representatives and Experts

Experienced experts and mentors provided essential insights to participants to help them understand key areas of the challenge. They also provided critical guidance enabling participants to take their ideas to new heights.

Two Global Sustainability Challenges

All of our challenges begin with a global approach influenced by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. With independent research, we identify geographic regions of focus and begin establishing strong relationships with community representatives.

Through these connections, we explore and understand the local context, which shapes our challenge briefs. Our February 2024 Bootcamp presented the opportunity for participants to tackle the following challenges:

Challenge 1

SDG #11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) & SDG #13 (Climate Action) in Edmonton, Canada

Challenge 2

SDG #11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) & SDG #13 (Climate Action) in Barcelona, Spain
