Be amongst the first ones to experience this new masterclass!
The problems we face are complex, but more than anything, they are systemic. According to renowned author Dr. Fritjof Capra, that is the reason why the only solutions need to also be systemic. Gaia Education curriculum and courses have a whole systems approach to designing the solutions we so desperately need in our world.
Come and join us for a conversation between a well-known physicist and system thinker Dr. Fritjof Capra and our experienced CEO and sustainability educator Giovanni Ciarlo.
It will be a delight to listen to them speaking and responding to your questions. Together they will discuss how a systemic approach to the solutions to our complex problems is not only desirable but deeply necessary.
This will be an ongoing concept and our goal is to offer more Masterclasses in the future.
