The Pedagogy of Transition: Educating for the Future We Want

Following the UNESCO World Conference on Education for Sustainable Development, many educators are asking a key question: are we educating for the world we want?

Despite many valuable on-the-ground initiatives, the answer is a clear “no” in the wide-ranging forum The Pedagogy of Transition: Educating for the Future We Want, published today by the Great Transition Initiative (GTI).

The forum contributes to growing international debate on the purposes and role of education by offering a powerful and challenging critique of conventional assumptions

about education and learning. More importantly, it posits inspiring alternative visions and practicable steps to transformative change that point the way forward.

The Great Transition Initiative, founded in 2003, is an online forum of ideas and an international network for the critical exploration of concepts, strategies, and visions for a transition to a future of enriched lives, human solidarity, and a resilient biosphere.
