The future of all things depends on actions taken today, and nowhere is this more evident than in the ecological sphere. Despite almost five decades of environmental education programs, very little change is evident in how humans and nature interact. This panel discussion will present views from philosophy, education and social perspectives, with specific emphasis on how to integrate the vocabulary for discussion of ecological issues. Unless those who talk about problems and solutions understand each other, there is little progress.

Learning Academy Worldwide
Uplifting others is my mission. South Africa's high-stakes communities are the arena that brings out the drivers in me to acknowledge the bridges people have built, come alongside their grand efforts to support meaningful change and creatively and collaboratively design new solutions for poverty alleviation and emancipatory capacity building - all of it strategically implemented in formal and informal learning settings.
