Real world contextual learning doesn’t get any better than integrating global issues and sustainability into daily learning activities.

EduCare helps lead schools towards better environmental, global issues and service learning education. Mr. Johnston has presented in Europe, North America, Africa and Asia at conferences on the topic of Global Issues and Environmental education. He has empowered students and teachers in the places he has worked such as Canada, Scotland, Mexico, Russia, Qatar and Singapore to know they really can make a difference in the world. He has lead workshops for teachers and administrators around the world on sustainability, global curriculum K-12 and how service learning should not just be what you do, but who you are as a school. Mr. Johnston has coordinated week without walls trips, sustainable community service projects and countless environmental actions and programs. He brought the global issues network to both Moscow and Doha, including coordinating two NESA region network conferences in 2009 and 2010 and looks forward to hosting the global issues network in Singapore at UWC in 2012. He has dedicated much of his time to not only ensuring students are properly prepared for the world’s most pressing issues but that they have the skills and desire to take action to make a difference.
