IE

At IE we believe that only through education can all of the UN 2030 agenda SDGs be achieved: education to provide knowledge and content, to develop skills and even attitudes that will empower us to act and do things better, making a positive impact on people and the planet.

Our decade of action has already begun. We are working for our people and for our planet by transforming into an experiential place of learning for sustainable development. We are orienting all of our processes towards principles of sustainability – tackling social, environmental and economic issues.

Understanding the big picture in relation to the individual; fostering self reflection and a deeper acknowledgement of  our values, spriritual principles and sense of purpose; preparing our minds for the transformation towards a sustainable future for all – this is what at IE we call the sustainable mindset.

• We commit to making fundamental changes in the way that our community consumes goods, and how it manages the waste generated.

• We foster diversity and intercultural understanding, tolerance, mutual respect and an ethic of global citizenship and shared responsibility.

• To reach our goal of educating the best leaders, we equip students with the requisite knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to create a sustainable future. To that end, students cultivate critical and creative thinking skills, engage in authentic interdisciplinary learning activities and develop a value system that emphasizes responsibility to self, others and the planet.

• We will continue to advance our contribution to cutting edge research related to sustainability.
