There is a growing recognition of the importance of teaching students about sustainability issues. But given the many uncertainties and unknowns, what kinds of learning approaches are appropriate?
In partnership with a leading school-wide initiative in Brighton and Hove, Our City Our World, the University of Sussex is exploring with schools the value of also engaging their students with the uncertainties of sustainability. This draws on the work of the PASTRES project, with its emphasis on the need to acknowledge what is unknown and unpredictable.
