In this episode of Education for Climate Talks, Trine, Community Manager, is hosting Arjen Wals, Professor of Transformative Learning for Socio-Ecological Sustainability at Wageningen University & UNESCO Chair in Social Learning and Sustainable Development. Together, they explore how education can move beyond traditional boundaries to foster meaningful lives and equip learners to face the realities of climate change.
Arjen reflects on the role of education for sustainability, the importance of addressing eco-anxiety, and the need to rethink teacher training so that educators are empowered to guide whole-school transformations. He highlights the role of teachers in the Whole-School Approach (WSA) and shares five key lessons for schools and learning institutions seeking to transition towards sustainability.
Listeners are introduced to Arjen’s "now-topias" and his heartfelt advice for passionate teachers working with limited support and resources.
