Rewilding education: how ecology can be a critical lens for system change

Tuesday 13^th February 2024, 4.30-6pm

Microsoft Teams meeting

Ecology is the study of organisms and how they interact with the environment around them. In post-pandemic education, we are increasingly aware of the social and professional relationships between teachers, other colleagues, pupils, leaders, parents, and authorities. Not only these but the relationships between people and the ‘natural’ and constructed learning environments of home, school, community spaces, and the outdoors. ‘Rewilding’ is a conservation term but is now entering the language of business, referring to efforts to restore an ecosystem to a state where it can more naturally evolve, and where different species can co-exist.  

In this online session, we will explore the concepts and metaphors of ecology and discuss how an understanding of complex ecosystems can help us to better manage and steer change in our own education work.  

We will hear from the host speakers as they discuss their own interactions with these ideas, coupled with different images and graphics as food for thought. Participants will have the opportunity to complete voluntary interactive tasks, engage in Q&A, and share their own ideas. 

This event may be of interest to educational leaders or those involved in Learning for Sustainability in your local authorities.
