This episode of the GreenPlanet BluePlanet podcast explores regenerative education with three professionals who have created brain trusts and/or started new schools based on the whole child, social emotional learning, gardening, real world projects and experienced-based learning, to name a few.

While the nascent regenerative education movement has a lot of momentum, it still has a long way to go to become mainstream. This podcast may be just in time. Guests Hope Paterson, Catherine Fraise and Phil Moore are educators and thought leaders who are designing schools for the future. Love is the key
