26 years in three countries, mainly in the International
Baccalaureate. Jennifer is an expert in developing and
executing educational strategies, projects, processes and

for sustainable and regenerative societies. She has worked with
student changemakers in the Sustainability Action Lab at

Guide⁠, a curriculum that she lead - developed with
colleagues from other disciplines and other international

Recently, she has turned her attention to advocating for
regenerative economics to be taught in secondary schools. You can

working on a prototype for the course in the coming months. If
