Join the alumni of the online Climate Change and Health Certificate Program for an empowering conversation with Maggie Favretti!

Maggie Favretti, a Yale-and Middlebury-educated cultural historian, has spent over 35 years happily helping her students to ask, “why not now?” As an expert in educational frameworks and collaborations (k-16+), Maggie uses co-design thinking to empower students and their communities to thrive by shifting the paradigm to youth partnership in making their world more sustainable, equitable, resilient and happy. Her current research interests include the ethics of time in leadership decision-making, anti-colonial practices in youth development, teacher and community empowerment, the roles of shared efficacy, creative confidence and civic courage in climate change adaptation/ mitigation capacity, and the impact on and role of teachers in disaster response and recovery.
