This workbook was prepared as a start up resource for educators working on environment and sustainability questions in the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development. The workbook explores creative ways of working with ethics in education.
It includes six different sections:
- Being Critical: Encourages us to look beyond the obvious, and to practice becoming more critical.
- Self-Validating Reduction: Encourages us to examine what happens when the potential of people, communities, places or landscapes is reduced in damaging ways.
- Complex Questions and Ethical Quandaries: Encourages us to reflect on what happens when complex ethical questions are not easy to address.
- Ethics In Action: Encourages us to explore ethics as an everyday activity.
- Re-imagining Possibilities: Encourages us to 'think outside the box' and to creatively re-imagine the future with new possibilities.
- Ethics Around the World: Encourages us to think about how ethical questions are being discussed in different places and cultures around the world. You can 'add your story' by describing ethical questions in your own community, context, culture and country.
Each section includes stories, learning activities and extension activities. Some of the sections include additional handouts. The book allows for 'working in the book', making this a workbook to get started with environmental education, ethics and action at the start of the United Nations Decade on Education for Sustainable Development.
The book represents an international collaboration between the United Nations Environment Programme, Lakehead University (Canada) and Rhodes University (South Africa).
