A “pedagogy of hope"? | RFTRW: S18E03
19 December 2022
It’s easy to be down in the dumps and worry about the state of the world and feel like there’s nothing you can do about it. This podcast explores ways to ensure that learners have the skills and knowledge to take action.
Our guest Professor Douglas Bourn is aware that “hope” can often be considered an idealistic and utopian term, but if it is grounded in real-life issues and challenges, then it can provide a valuable approach to learning about global issues.
In this discussion with Jo Nicholl, we also hear about that learning about global and sustainability issues poses questions about education for social change.
