Description

Earthwards: A New Direction for Ecological Education This book offers a transformative approach to teaching and learning about nature. It invites educators to rethink their role in fostering ecological literacy and personal resilience among students, and to create conditions for peak experiences of nature that can inspire lasting change. By sharing stories, concepts, and methods for connecting with nature, Earthwards aims to shift the focus from using nature as a resource to understanding it as a living organism. This crucial paradigm shift is made possible through innovative action research that engages students in various settings, from classrooms to outdoor experiences. The result is a culture of real eco-schools that prioritize the well-being of both people and the planet. Through its stories and methods, Earthwards has the potential to inspire educators and learners alike to work together towards a more sustainable future.
