Benjamin Freud on transforming education
Benjamin believes that to prepare young people for the present and the future, schools need more than bolt-on units that teach about sustainability. Schools—and the world—need to embed regenerative practices into their curricula and their culture. And they need to embed a respect and appreciation for life, not just human life.
This belief took him all the way from his native France to the Middle East, and then to Asia, where he now heads Green School Bali, a school where children embody ecosystemic thinking for life to thrive.
