We need to have a conversation about the purpose of education. But really, what we need to do is get past the 'end of history' narrative and start imagining and creating alternatives to neoliberalism. Our future depends on it. https://t.co/as3K6Su8Sm #EducationRenewed

🗣️Yesterday, one of our adult advisors told us about conversations she had had with two candidates who was initially against climate education.

A Reform UK candidate initially shot her down as he didn't think we should "frighten children" with "adults' problems". +

[XR Educators @XREducators]

Are any other teachers leaving the classroom because the education system is failing to prepare children for the future on our warming planet?

[Development Education Research Centre @ioe_derc]

Does your school use the #SDGs as a framework to encourage commitments to #EducationforSustainability?

DERC’s Global Learning MA could help you develop powerful approaches to addressing the #ClimateCrisis in the classroom.

No. It’s not about 38 polar bears in the Alaska Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
It’s about what will happen if the 11 billion barrels of oil underneath one of Earth’s last wildernesses are extracted and burned.

Earlier this week we released a collection of essays under the heading: 'Environmentalism in a time between education worlds'.

https://t.co/EaZ4zX9wMt

It's gone down well so far, here are some of the kind things people have been saying about it:

[Students Organising for Sustainability🌍 @sosukcharity]

Our Green Schools Revolution: Teach the Teacher campaign is hiring! 📣

Join our team of student Campaign Coordinators and help us empower young people to talk to their teachers about climate.

[MorganHPhillips @MorganHPhillips]

If you feel it's time to move beyond incrementalism in education, please read these essays.

We are on the cusp of a generation-defining new era of education.

It's a ship that will be built as it sails, we need to be on board it now:

It was a pleasure to deliver the expert air quality knowledge for a People's Assembly at Francis Holland School @FHSSloaneSquare.

Decision-making will change, and it's pioneering schools like these showing children how it could be done.

People's assemblies are the future.
