Shaping the Future of Education with the VillarsInstitute and Swissnex🌍✨

Proud to have Dwight School represented during #NYClimateWeek and #UNGA! Our very own Zach Lehr '26 (a Villars Fellow!) and Head of Design Lesa Wang joined educators, entrepreneurs, and other Villars Fellows at Swissnex to explore how education can prepare students to navigate planetary crises and AI advancement.

The conversation highlighted the need for:
🌱 Education models that integrate systems thinking and intergenerational collaboration
🤖 Balancing AI innovation with human empathy, creativity, and accountability
💡 Elevating youth voices and perspectives in solving global challenges
🏫 Transforming schools into innovation hubs where students "learn to feel" and drive real change
📖 Pairing data with storytelling to accelerate transformation

The message was clear: students need both technological fluency and emotional intelligence to steward our planet's future. Green is the new gold. 💚

Thank you to the Villars Institute and Swissnex for creating this vital space for this important dialogue!
