embercombe - inspiring committed action for a truly sustainable world - 0 views

  •  
    Embercombe is a charity and social enterprise established \nto champion a way of living that celebrates the opportunities inherent in this \nchallenging time and that inspires people to energetically contribute towards \nthe emergence of a socially just, environmentally sustainable and spiritually \nfulfilling human presence on earth.\n\nIt is our view that humanity now stands at a cross-roads - \na defining time in which we will make choices that will greatly influence our \ncollective future, for better or worse. We have become so numerous, so \nindustrious, so ambitious, and so technologically powerful, that we have the \ncapacity to orchestrate the destruction of our species, habitat, and future. We \nalso possess the imagination, the vision, and the intellect to learn from \nexperience, meet our challenges, and build a positive, sustainable future. A \nradical shift in awareness, values, and behaviour is required to meet this \ncritical transition.

TEDxLoodusele - Ken Webster - Circular economy - YouTube - 0 views

  •  
    "Ken Webster - Head of Learning from The Ellen MacArthur Foundation (UK) introduces the concept of a circular economy. The end of the era of cheap fossil fuels and key materials, coupled with rising population and anxieties around water resources, food production and harmful wastes, demonstrates the need for rethinking our model of production and consumption, not merely patching it up. Let's re-think, re-design and build a positive future."

Michael Gove speaks to the Schools Network - The Department for Education - 0 views

  • A big part of this has involved reducing central government prescription for all schools to make heads' and teachers' lives easier and give them the space to focus on what really matters.
  • Overall, our vision for the future is of a self-improving network of schools, innovating and engaging, competing and collaborating, teaching and training, for the benefit of all our children.
  • And yet there is a perception by some that my department isn't especially concerned about such things. That we care more about Tennyson than technology. That our interest is in Ibsen, not iTunes. That we're more Kubla Khan than Khan Academy. This couldn't be further from the truth. I am absolutely committed to ensuring that our school system not only prepares pupils for this changing world, but also embraces the technological advances which are transforming education. My department is thinking hard about this and we'll be saying more in the new year.

  • a genuine engagement with the wondrous world of technological innovation will see children's learning 'liberated from the dead hand of the past.' We owe it to pupils across the country to take this issue seriously.
