The Schumacher College (Totnes, Devon) and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation offer a course on education and leadership, November 8 – 12.
How do we educate for sustainability? What new skills and ways of thinking can help young people and the institutions that work with them prepare for a challenging – and unpredictable – future? What qualities of leadership can inspire a new generation of engaged citizens?
This course will help participants understand systems thinking and its industrial applications at the level of product design and manufacture (closed loop manufacturing) and at the level of national/regional planning (closed loop or circular economy).
Teachers:
Ken Webster, Head of Learning for the Foundation and author of the influential book Sense and Sustainability: Educating for a Low Carbon World.
Ellen MacArthur joins Ken for the early part of the week where the focus is on leadership and change and the need to ‘redesign the future’.
Steve Martin is UK Operations and Site Director for the environmentally pioneering company InterfaceFlor, responsible for overseeing all of the company’s manufacturing operations.
