Your house is flooded by ?unseasonal? heavy rain. What do you learn from this experience? Do you shrug your shoulders and call your insures? Or do you choose to learn about climate change, switch to renewable energy and lobby politicians? In this insightful book, John Blewitt explores the possibilities for developing a sustainable society through ?lifelong learning? ? that is, learning that happens in everyday environments and activities as diverse as shopping, community, ?edutainment?, information and communication technology, the internet, broadcasting, people?s experience of place and space, green building, social networks and consumer culture.
Drawing on a range of sociological, anthropological and educational studies as well as new research. The Ecology of Learning is ideal for those involved in the fields of education, business development, community work and the media, of anyone interested in the integration of environmental education, sustainability and innovation in non-traditional learning situations. The coverage is extensive, with an accessible but informed engagement with both theory and practice and a wide range of examples. Throughout, the voices, stroies and experiences of many people are used to illustrate the ways people may reshape our understanding of learning and sustainability.ISBN - 9781844072040
