“The conventional wisdom holds that all education is good, and the more of it one has, the better.… The truth is that without significant precautions, [it] can equip people merely to be more effective vandals of the Earth” (D. Orr).

Post-normalism – can we know what sustainability or SD is? Complexity Uncertainty and indeterminacy Contestation and controversy – extinction
of ‘truth’ Shallowness and hyper-connectivity –
erosion of meaning Emergence - reflexivity

Three Lenses for Education for SustainabilityIntegrative – not only the ecological and the
environmental, but also… not only the present but also…, not only the local but also…, not only the human world but also…
Critical - questioning continuous economic growth and consumerism, and associated lifestyles but also sources of information, claims made, etc.
Transformative – exploration of alternative lifestyles (e.g. ‘voluntary simplicity’), values and systems that break from existing ones that are inherently unsustainable

The new Dutch EE/ESD-Policy Framework seeks to create linkages between schools, NGO’s, businesses and neighbourhoods by supporting social learning through the creation of ‘vital coalitions’ focusing on sustainability issues

Social learning
a collaborative, emergent learning process that hinges on the simultaneous cultivation of ‘difference’ and social cohesion in order to create joint ownership, unleash creativity and the kind of dynamic and energy needed to break with existing patterns, routines or systems.

Network Individuals and organizations participate on the base of their core competences
Combined, all competences are present to make network successful
Provides space for competence development within the network
