What if education empowered students not just to learn about the world’s problems—but to solve them?

In this inspiring episode, we dive into the Solutionary Framework developed by the Institute for Humane Education. Learn how this powerful, action-oriented approach is transforming classrooms by equipping students with the critical thinking, compassion, and systems analysis they need to become changemakers.

Our guests, Katie Coppens & Marcela Villan, unpack how educators can use the framework to guide students in identifying real-world problems, investigating root causes, and designing innovative, ethical, and sustainable solutions that benefit people, animals, and the planet.

Whether you're a teacher, leader, or lifelong learner, this episode offers a fresh perspective on what education can—and should—look like in a world that needs more Solutionaries.
