Your house is flooded by a rain-swollen river. What do you learn
from this experience? Do you shrug your shoulders and call your
insurer? Or do you choose to learn about climate change, switch to
renewable energy and lobby politicians? This book is a
groundbreaking examination of how learning in everyday environments
- business, work, home, community life - is key to improving
society and achieving sustainability. It is ideal for educators,
teachers, corporate trainers and consultants working to integrate
environmental education, sustainability and innovation in
non-traditional learning situations. How can we understand and
achieve sustainability? How can we re-school society towards
sustainability? Throughout life we learn, we develop meanings and
connections, and we act. This book explores the possibilities for
developing a sustainable society through 'lifelong learning' - that
is, learning that happens in everyday environments and activities
as diverse as shopping, community, 'edutainment', information and
communication technology, the internet, broadcasting, people's
experience of place and space, green building, social networks and
consumer culture.Drawing on a range of sociological,
anthropological and educational studies as well as new research The
Ecology of Learning provides a broad trans-disciplinary
understanding of the topic. The coverage is impressive with an
accessible but informed engagement with both theory and practice
and a wide range of examples. The voices, stories and experiences
of many people are used to illustrate the ways people may reshape
our understanding of learning and sustainability.
