Recently, grantee David Sidwell produced the first- ever Solutionaries Congress. Building on the amazing work of Zoe Weil and the Institute for Humane Education, David explains, “Solutionaries are people who transform unjust, unsustainable, and inhumane systems into ones that are peaceful and healthy for all people, animals, and the environment.”
Solutionaries Congress is a fun, debate-style competition that is about solutions to the worlds most pressing problems. The first event was a gathering of Utah high school students representing 4 different schools. Students presented proposed solutions to some of the world’s pressing problems in competition format similar to a debate meet. The Solutionaries Congress format is one that David the IHE team are considering expanding nationally. We are excited to see how it evolves.
