Sustainability
About sustainability I have bad memories. Because I remember the teacher who taught me study course "Sustainable education". All the classes were boring and no one in my course didn't understand what she is talking about. But I'm very glad, that in this class in UCC we were doing practical things.For me sustainability is important thing, because we are thinking and discussing about future. Everybody wants to live long, happy, healthy etc. life, but it is hard work. Everyone of us is a small part of Earth, so I and other people are responsible about what happens around.
It's necessary to teach sustainability in schools, even in kindergarten. Because adults can influence children attitude, it is too late talk about these things only in University.Also the project "Oresundsklasserummet" left a great impression on me, because it was real action. If I have the chance to take part in this project, it would be great experience.
So, for me sustainability is process or way, how we can make world a better place; including economical, social, nature etc.areas. I suppose that Denmark is good example for other countries, here people tries to live in harmony with nature. But if we don't STOP, in many movies we can see consequences.
To be honest, I do not think people will want to limit themselves!!!

ReplyDeleteOur point is that if we want people to change habits we shal develope an attractive alternative. That is why we started the class by asking what your dreams are for your life. And that is why we use the concept of action competence as a model for teaching toward sustainability. Jens
