Cultural groups are becoming more adversarial, the gap between rich and poor is widening and the health of the natural environment is deteriorating.  These trends are reversible.

 

Vision

 

Our vision is the achievement of sustainable societies for all people.

 

Mission

 

Our mission is to be an agent of change, moving from destructive to constructive social, economic and environmental practices by providing education that motivates people to engage in common purpose for the attainment of sustainable societies.

 

Our Sustainable Societies project provides colleges and universities with a way to raise their students’ level of understanding of global social, economic and environmental challenges, develop their abilities to design effective, integrated, local solutions and become motivated to action early in their academic experience.  The success of the project will be measured by the effect it has on student behavior and the formation of student choices regarding education and career paths.

 

The Sustainable Societies project is the first phase of what EFI sees as a multi-phase program to foster effective, issue-literate leaders on a global scale.
