From 2022 to 2024, NLL has coordinated a pilot project “Development of Educational Models for Sustainable Lifestyles” within the Nordic Council of Ministers programme for sustainable lifestyles.
Within this project, six different Nordic institutions have shared and explored pedagogical approaches, dilemmas, barriers and potentials as well as the organisational prerequisites for creating true transformative education for sustainability.
In the first part of the project, 11 recommendations for practitioners were formulated.
The second part resulted in five videos with the participants’ advice for school leaders, a policy brief for the Nordic Council of Ministers and this one-pager with recommendations for teachers and practitioners.
It is recommended to use the one-pager as a supplementary part of the total body of products.
The suggestions in this one-pager follow the recommendations formulated in the policy brief, aiming to promote a paradigm shift towards emphasising diversity, pedagogical freedom and Bildung within adult education in the Nordic countries. But how do we do this as practitioners? How do we develop a personal take on sustainability, both personally and professionally? How do we meet the pedagogical challenges that the sustainability agenda evokes? And how do we find or create a supportive tribe that helps us conduct transformative sustainability education?
Read the one-pager here.
