This interactive workshop brings together four leaders from Manitoba working across K-12 education, pre-service teacher education, and academia who are advancing climate action and sustainability within and across systems through collaboration. These leaders will share their unique experiences and perspectives, drawing upon work in K-12 and beyond, emphasizing a grassroots approach to climate change education and policy. They will speak on their current practice and future directions for holistic systems transformation across domains, with a focus on braiding together Western educational systems and Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing. Attendees will engage with guiding questions in breakout groups designed to surface strategic opportunities and meaningful pathways for action. Participants will have the opportunity to share their experiences and perspectives with peers and identify concrete next steps to advance climate-responsive leadership within their own contexts.
