The regenerative current is growing all around us. Stories on the need to reconnect, heal and transform abound, all challenging a dominant worldview built on competition, economic growth, extractivism, militarisation and personal gain. Yes, our planet and its resources are stretched beyond their limits, causing a wide range of suffering and injustice for humanity and non-humans. But within our own lives and places, we’ve all got the potential to bring forward more life-affirming futures. And if we weave our efforts together with increasing determination and intelligence, who knows what the future holds.
So as educators… What is our contribution? How can we participate in the regenerative current? Surely, educational spaces carry in them the potential of play, re-imagination, re-connection, healing, and transformation. Yet our educational systems, too, are in many ways still captured by outdated narratives and practices. How, then, can we regenerate our educational systems, communities and our educational selves.
