"Tells the story of a radical educational experiment. Built on a decade of research and the creation of several eco-schools, this book offers readers theoretical understandings and practical curricular and pedagogical implications and a map for those curious about shifting educational practices by aligning with the natural world to support mutual flourishing for all"--

The current ecological crisis is the consequence of entrenched attitudes, discourses and behaviours in human societies worldwide, fostered and reinforced through modern educational traditions, processes and institutions. This book envisions a radical transformation of education to focus on the mutual flourishing of human societies with the rest of life on Earth. In part, the authors suggest approaching this as a problem of systemic design, incorporating principles that challenge and undermine key premises of the Capitalocene¿the socio-economic-political landscape sustaining the current educational regime. Tracing the implications of this transition, they review core assumptions of modern Western culture that need to shift, and identify a wide range of relevant capacities and practices grouped under four complementary educator ¿stances¿ for eco-social-cultural change.
