Regeneration: Empowering Students to Tackle the Climate Crisis Through Art
October 2024–May 2025

An academic year-long, statewide initiative, the Regeneration Project engaged students from ten Connecticut schools in a hands-on project and art installation that explored environmental justice, climate solutions, and community responsibility. Guided by the themes of Paul Hawken's book Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation, the project invited students to take an active role in shaping both the process and outcomes, sharing authority with educators and artists in a model of true collaboration. Students used research, dialogue, and artistic expression to respond to the climate crisis. The result was a powerful integration of engagement and creative agency, grounded in AMP's belief that meaningful change happens when people work together.

We see global warming not as an inevitability but as an invitation to build, innovate, and effect change, a pathway that awakens creativity, compassion, and genius. This is not a liberal agenda, nor is it a conservative one. This is the human agenda. —Paul Hawken
