Toronto, ON   |   University of Toronto

The Ontario xChange event, co-hosted by the EWB UofT Chapter at Hart House at the University of Toronto, will focus on Solar Energy: Harnessing the Sun and Ed. Tech for Sustainable Development.

The Ontario regional event will explore the current state of the renewable/clean energy infrastructure and growth, and assess how educational technology can improve engagement with climate education in a global setting. The event will feature expert panelists, break-out sessions, interactive displays and booths, and networking opportunities. Discussions regarding renewable/clean energy will focus on key challenges with the current infrastructure and deficiencies facing carbon-neutral goals:

​

  • Are we on track to meet crucial climate targets while meeting anticipated energy needs?
     

  • Are ‘Renewables', such as solar energy, in a position to be a main driver as we race to meet those targets?
     

  • Do we have the necessary general societal acceptance and political will to accelerate the comprehensive changes required to meet our goals while advancing sustainable sources of energy in more areas and in more sectors?

According to the UN, “education is key to addressing climate change,” and educational technology or EdTech plays a crucial role in shaping learning. With an ever-changing world, technology needs to continue to develop to meet the needs of our community while helping us achieve our climate goals:

 

  • Can EdTech directly reduce carbon emissions?

  • How can we leverage technology to make learning more accessible on local and global scales?

  • How can technology be used in new and exciting ways to support learning?

​

Join us to explore how sustainable energy solutions and education can not only shape our future and meet critical climate change goals, but how we can collectively contribute to these transformative goals now. Through expert panel discussions, break-out sessions, and dedicated networking opportunities this event seeks to also lay the groundwork for future, important collaborations. As a society, we’re at a pivotal time in driving carbon-neutral solutions, and EWB Canada will continue to champion this necessity locally for impact globally. Climate change is a critical discussion for our generation, and climate education is an important venue for addressing these complex environmental problems.

We’re excited to welcome attendees from across Ontario and Canada to dive further into this conversation. Come join us at the Ontario xChange for a day of learning, collaboration, networking, refreshments and more!
