Course Summary

The climate emergency and global pandemic have highlighted the importance of spending time in natural environments. Our intrinsic link to the world around us is unbreakable. It demands care, respect and creative solutions. To keep ourselves safe, we have seen all aspects of life, from social, recreation, education, transportation and even employment, benefit from taking a nature-centred approach. Educators have moved away from stationary classrooms and utilised outdoor education more and more. There is a growing need to learn in and from our local environment. There is an urgent need to care for it. The environmental education sector is flourishing. This course will empower you to enrich and radically transform educational practices, across a multitude of sectors. We’ll teach you underlying theories and how to apply them to practice. We’ll analyse sustainable development issues, biodiversity loss and the climate emergency. Together, we’ll examine equality of access to environmental education. You’ll develop a critical awareness of the impact of race, gender, disability, economics and government policy on the lives of learners, educators and organisations. Every step of the way, we’ll guide you to become a reflexive and inclusive educator. To foster environments and activities where everyone can join in. To learn, you must experience. To teach, you must first inspire. What greater inspiration is there than the natural world?

Modules

Climate Catastrophe and Educational Environments (30 Credits) - Core

In this module we inquire into an ecological understanding of the self as part of the more than human world and the value of multi-disciplinary learning. We inquire into whether all education should be environmental; whether we can understand environmental catastrophe through a single discipline; the issues of process and product in the current context of education; the importance of, and problems with, experience and theory in understanding our relationship to the environment; and, the role of education in developing qualities in people for a world that is on the cusp of irreparable change. This module picks up themes from place-based and nature-connection education, and complements the multiple ways of knowing exemplified through, Pathways to Inquiry.
