SUMMARY:A PATH to Systems Thinking with the Sustainability Compass
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is part of the Future Learning Summit 2025\, a two-day event connecting students\, parents and global educators with thought leaders who are passionate about the future of education. With an ever-changing social\, economic\, and environmental global landscape\, children and young people have a lot to navigate in their futures and education is the catalyst for innovation. With ‘Education for a Shared Humanity’ as the summit theme\, we’ll be exploring what it means to be humanly connected in an increasingly technology-driven world\, and unpacking a range of ideas designed to help children and young people to shape their futures. While this theme is highly personalised\, meaning something different to every delegate\, at its heart is the recognition that the interconnectedness between peoples remains important and education has the power to enable this to thrive. During the summit delegates will hear from forward thinking and passionate educators\, students and leaders through keynotes and panel discussions\, and engage in workshops that will challenge their ideas of education.  \n  \nWorkshop Description\nThe Sustainability Compass is a powerful tool for building systems thinking skills that can support community change-making. In this virtual workshop participants will co-construct a Compass using the PATH process on a challenge of their choice. Participants will consider how the tool can be actively integrated across the curriculum to leverage systems thinking from their roles. \nThis virtual workshop will be held on Sunday\, February 9 in two sessions 11:00-11:45 am and 12:45-13:30 pm UTC+3. Please join us in this workshop if you are attending the summit! \n  \nREGISTER FOR THE SUMMIT HERE\n  \n——————————————————— \n  \nPresenter\nBritta McCarthy\nBritta McCarthy is the Learning Director at the American International School of Jeddah\, Saudi Arabia and is a former Social Studies and Science teacher. Her “spark” comes from authentic learning experiences that can transform individuals\, schools\, and communities. Britta has used Compass Education tools in her class for almost ten years\, and can’t say enough about how they create student agency and action around some of the most challenging issues of our time. In her leisure time she enjoys spending time in nature as a hiker and diver\, traveling\, and spending time with family and friends.

SUMMARY:Compass Workshops at the SENIA Asia Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join us on a transformative journey to redefine true belonging and envision a future where everyone’s unique qualities and values are recognized\, celebrated\, and valued. \nTogether\, we move beyond limitations and create an inclusive community that embraces diversity in all its forms. \nRegister to attend the conference and the two sessions members of our Compass Facilitator team are hosting on using systems thinking to support ‘Belonging and Beyond’. \n  \nWorkshop A – Creating Inclusive Environments that Foster Belonging Through Systems Thinking Tools\nDate and Time: March 8\, 1:30 – 2:45 PM \nSpeakers: Zhenying Liang and Marie-Theres Whitehead \nDescription: \nThe presentation introduces systems thinking tools that educators and students can use to analyze school environments and find leverage points for sustainable\, inclusive change. By using these tools\, we can uncover systems and mindsets that hinder students from belonging and create opportunities to celebrate diversity and foster acceptance. \nEducators will explore how to shape environments where everyone feels valued and included. The interactive session allows participants to share insights\, identify common challenges with mental models\, and collaboratively explore solutions\, providing practical tools to build inclusive\, supportive spaces that celebrate differences. \n  \nWorkshop B – Leading Change for Belonging and Beyond: Systems Thinking to Diffuse Innovation for Inclusion\nDate and Time: March 9\, 1:30 – 2:45 PM \nSpeaker: Kate O’Connell \nDescription: \nThe SENIA mission statement includes “…champions inclusion by empowering our global community to connect\, learn\, and advocate for one another.” and the vision states “…To live in an inclusive world.” These powerful words remind us of our responsibility as educators to advocate and create inclusive environments where all students can not only be accepted\, but celebrated. But how can work towards this lofty goal? It takes making and change and very skilled change makers will do this work. \nInclusion and belonging are ideals that can happen and using systems thinking tools to diffuse innovative practices for belonging and beyond can help us actualize SENIA’s mission. In this session\, we will explore how to diffuse innovation so that great belonging and inclusion can come alive and make a positive impact. Utilizing an exciting simulation from Compass Education called the “AMOEBA” we will identify the roles we all play in diffusing innovation to meet our individual school missions and that of the SENIA. \n  \nREGISTER FOR THE CONFERENCE HERE\n

SUMMARY:Compassion in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Global Learning for an Open World (GLOW) Conference is a premier virtual event dedicated to global education and innovation. This conference aims to enhance global competencies\, foster cross-border collaboration\, nurture dynamic global citizenship\, and ensure equitable access to quality education for all. \n  \nAbout the Event\nGive yourself the gift of time to connect with a community of educators who believe that teaching compassion is important. Take part in this discussion journey to gain ideas\, reflect on practice and share how you foster compassion in your classroom and community\, including free resources and suggestions from Compass Education and the Institute of Human Education. \nThis presentation will give educators tools to build a strong classroom community. All schools today have a diverse range of students with a variety of backgrounds to consider. Additionally\, there are many challenges we are all facing in this ever-changing world. Educators need to take time to support students in developing strategies to deal with stress and regulate themselves so they can be in the right state for learning and collaborating. This presentation will provide tools and strategies to use in classrooms to create a safe and calm learning environment. Teachers who attend will practice using some of them and will leave with a list of ideas to use in the classroom ranging from mindfulness\, communication tools\, and conflict resolution to create an inclusive and kind community. The hope is to give time to the importance of having a learning space that allows students to feel safe and ready to learn. \nThe presentation will provide Compass Education and Institute for Humane Education tools and strategies.

Outside of work\, she enjoys playing squash and being on the coast\, most recently sea kayaking. \n  \n  \n  \nGeraldine (Ged) Thomason\nAs an expat child\, Ged grew up in Zambia and Liberia. Her experiences there allowed her to consider different perspectives and sparked her love of the natural world. She always had a random collection of stones\, sticks\, feathers and seeds in her pockets and still does to this day. She loves to travel and became a travel agent so that she could continue to get to know the world. Later\, when her son was born and had some additional learning needs\, she discovered the inequalities in the education system. Disheartened by some teachers and encouraged by others\, she decided to become an educator. She wanted to become someone who could provide a safe\, loving\, equitable and inspiring space for any learner. As an international educator who has worked in the UK\, China\, Brunei\, Singapore\, France and now Germany\, she continues to work on this goal every day of the week. Her master’s in education for sustainability was provoked by her first experience with Compass Education and she is excited to be able to share her enthusiasm for these tools with other educators to help us develop passionate and thoughtful citizens. \n  \n\n  \nAre you looking to build a culture of sustainability in your school?
