Education & Economics as if People and Planet Mattered
Advertisement
This course will provide an overview of fresh thinking and experimentation in new educational and economic forms in the company of some of the leading pioneers currently active in the field. The workshop will be much more than a series of lectures
delivered by talking heads aimed at transmitting some new ‘truth’. Rather, in keeping with the nature of the revolution we are seeking to effect, we will use a holistic pedagogy that engages ‘head, heart and hands.’
The course is led by Jonathan Dawson, the co-creator of Schumacher College's pioneering Regenerative Economics MA program.

The course seeks to:
explore the philosophical context for the emerging paradigmatic shift that we are living through
model cutting-edge pedagogical practices, giving course participants the opportunity to experiment with new, more participatory and embodied practices within and
beyond the classroom
trace progressive trends in the emergence of a more sustainable and regenerative economics – both locally and globally
feed into the wider international process of reflection and consultation occasioned by the process of metamorphosis that Schumacher College is currently going through
This course is for anyone who:
seeks to develop a broader picture of shifts in society at the paradigmatic level
is already employed in the formal or non-formal educational system or has aspirations to be so employed
works as an educator, facilitator or communicator in any other field
is active, at whatever level, in creating a more human-scale and regenerative economy
wishes to be involved in the ongoing international discussion around the kinds of curricula and pedagogies we seek to promote, fit to meet the needs of the 21 st
century
