Recensioner i media

An update to this award-winning book would be super! This is a fast-moving and difficult area of education that classroom practitioners need more support with. The suggestion to scaffold the book around the Earth Charter as well as the SDGs (as they reach the end of their life span) is warmly welcomed. The addition of a chapter on activism will be excellent for all practitioners who find themselves walking a difficult political tightrope, as well as a highly relevant, practical chapter on the design and delivery of a sustainability curriculum to include sustainability literacy.
