Our Theory of Action
IHE is founded on the premise that education is the one system that can change all other societal systems. Any lasting and successful shift in our response to the many societal and environmental challenges we are facing in our world rests with young people and the ways they will think and act in the decades ahead. For that reason, we are dedicated to helping educators and institutions prepare young people with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to be solutionaries and the next caretakers of our planet. We are also committed to helping people of all ages, professions, and walks of life become solutionaries.
