Due to funding cuts, accessibility issues, and misguided priorities, many educational institutions and universities are failing to serve their own communities. This is why adopting transformational education and putting regeneration at the center of their curricula is a must. Joining Corinna Bellizzi is Pavel Cenkl, PhD, dean of Academic Affairs at Prescott College. Together, they discuss what it takes to reimagine education to make it more reciprocal and less transactional, and why networked global learning matters now more than ever. Dr. Cenkl also explains how we should nourish and deepen our relationship with the world, the people around us, and even the more-than-human aspects of our planet to build innovative, regenerative, and sustainable communities.About Guest:Pavel Cenkl is the Dean of Academic Affairs at Prescott College.
