So nice to have students from Seisen International School join us at @TISlearns for an inquiry into compassionate systems through climate action. A great way to explore the dynamics of complex systems, and a provocative starting point for #PYPX.

So wonderful to have the first group of Compassionate Systems Youth Ambassadors up and running at @TISlearns!
