Abstract

During the years 2020 and 2021 at our university we have developed a teacher training program to respond to the need to train teachers who promote change in their students, so that they develop a "regenerative" vision in their future professional role.

Currently our students and professionals have been trained to have an "entrepreneurial spirit" responding to the institutional seal, however, the new times express an urgent call for attention for the transgression of planetary limits. For this reason, our "planet" needs and demands new "spirits", now that, in addition to entrepreneurs, they develop a systemic vision of the effects of our behavior on global warming and on the environment.

This article reflects the experience of creating and launching two courses for teachers in: Regenerative Economies, post-covid and other events, held in the first semester of 2020 and the Leadership and Innovation course for a more Regenerative World, during the first semester of 2021. Interdisciplinary groups of co-creation and dialogue were formed. 30 teachers from the Santiago and Temuco campuses participated.
