Schools for Regenerative Futures

How do we do it?
How do we show up every day with courage and vulnerability, while witnessing distress and destruction in the world around us? 
How do we make sense of education in the Anthropocene?

Here are some questions that have been playing in mind, while working with the community at Ecolint in my new role as Sustainability Lead.

Having met you, or being otherwise aware of your work, I thought you might be interested in joining the S4RF community, in which we aim to follow these questions to their source. Once it is clear that we can't 'tick-box' our way out of the polycrisis, how do we respond?

S4RF aims to bring people together and allow them to explore these questions. I don't have the answer, but I am convinced that as a community we can get closer to the answer of how to respond. It is inevitable that we will encounter colleagues that inspire us and help us shift our communities. It is those connections that will allow us to grow an ecosystem strong enough to actively consider these daunting questions and find actionable approaches.

What is clear, is that a bold goal is needed to inspire us and that is exactly what Schools for Regenerative Futures proposes: working towards schools where students can prototype the future, fuelled by curiosity, compassion and courage. What tweaks are needed to our systems, what conversations do we need to have and how do we show up?
