We are excited to announce that Ana Celia Aguirre Villarreal, Co-founder and Director of Human Development at Universidad Carolina, has joined The Cloud Institute's Board of Directors. With extensive experience in human flourishing, social-emotional learning, and community development, Ana Celia has been a driving force in creating educational programs that foster collaboration and trust, such as Aulas Alebrijes and the Leadership for Childhood Seminar.

Jaimie recently attended the Oxford International Curriculum Schools Conference as keynote speaker and panel discussion participant.

Here is some of the feedback from teachers and school leaders: “What resonated most with me was the webinar's holistic view of education for sustainable impact. It wasn't just about teaching environmental science or sustainability concepts - it was about cultivating learners who are empowered to be ethical leaders, systems thinkers, and passionate advocates for a more equitable and regenerative future.”

Educating for sustainability means inspiring children to think about the world, their relationship to it, and their ability to influence it in an entirely new way. Children learn the knowledge, skills, and mindsets to work towards their preferred future - a new paradigm for living with one another on Earth that celebrates our capability to thrive over time in the context of a rapidly changing and interdependent world.

Apart, Together - A Book About Transformation uses everyday scenes such as gardening, mixing color, playing a sport, and playing with blocks, to invite children and their grownups to read, discuss, play, imagine, and together, be curious about the connections that make up their world.

We are proud to announce our collaboration with the National Park Service to assist educators in their efforts to educate for sustainability through formal and informal education programs.

National Park Service Educators are participating from all over the country in our EfS Curriculum Design Studios. We are excited about the depth and breadth of the work we are doing and are grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing array of national park sites spanning the country, including Alaska, and scheduled to also support island groups in both the Pacific and Atlantic.

We track and share stories and case studies of people around the world who are contributing to sustainability and regeneration. Regeneration is a book by Paul Hawken, a project with a newsletter, and a website. Their mission is to reverse global warming in one generation. Below is a newsletter preview and you can read the full issue here.
