And we think we can Green Our Learning

some ideas…
Ecosystem
Planet and lifestyles
Movement and natural curiosity
Context and Place
Science and Technology

5. How Do WE Green
Our Learning ?
Ecosystem

6. "To Green our learning we must learn to
learn from nature and not just receive
instruction from texts
Nature talks to us in waves and particles.
If we ride the waves together we can
transcend our particular limitations.
We are nature and it is our shared
ecosystem of resources”
Fred Garnett FRSA

7. “To Green our Learning, we need to
enable learners:
to use their natural, innate ability to learn
rather than interfere with a perfect system
by teaching;
to find their natural talents and maximise
them. Learning is a natural ecosystem
that we should enhance rather than
interfere with ”
Stewart Hase – Dr Heutagogy

8. “Knowing the living world requires
understanding that my body contains five
times as many bacterial cells as those
originating in my own DNA.
I need to understand this and many other
interpenetrations of being we call
ecologies. I need to learn how to nurture
the meta-ecology we call Earth.”
Nigel Ecclesfield

9. How Do WE Green
Our Learning ?
Planet and lifestyles

10. “To Green our learning, we must green
our lifestyles.
To Green our learning, we must
implement 3R’s Reduce Reuse Recycle in
every walk of life. Teach our kids the same
Lifestyle change towards Greening shall
lead to a pollution free planet.
Sustainability must be a deed rather than
a word ”
Vijaya Bhanu Kote Andhara Pradesh

11. “ACTION! Protecting our Earth is
important. Positive education and
awareness are the key. Green activities
will give us the mindset to realize our
planet's value.
When we all work together, we can
minimize the damage we cause to our
rare planet and set the course for a
brighter, greener future”
Lemke Kamps Plastik Red

12. “For the planet to sustain life so that we
can live in abundance, we need to learn
together and fast.
Our cultural values need to shift towards
an ecological way of knowing.
We say the devil is in the detail, but we
forget it’s also in the patterns ”
Bridget McKenzie Climate Museum

13. How Do WE Green
Our Learning ?
Movement and natural curiosity

14. “We can green our learning by going out
into nature rather than just sitting and
looking at photos of Ladywell Fields.
I learnt more by putting on waders and
walking in Deptford Creek than from 100
conferences.
You need to see and smell the natural
world to learn from it ”
Paul Chapman – Urban Rivers

15. “We Green our Learning by moving our
bodies. When we walk and talk, we learn
and listen in a different way.
When we move, dance or exercise after
study or work, we embed the learning
into our bodies.
When we exercise we engage our mind
differently and can innovate ”
Kate Faragher - BeBright

16. “Be curious, confident and question
authority (what’s in it for them?).
Be a generalist, look for connections.
Never specialise in someone else’s facts
and tests.
Open your heart and find people to help
you understand, value and change things.
Have fun and tell better stories than
growth fixated consumer fetishists”
Tony Wheeler - Amaltheus

17. “I green my learning by asking questions
about the things that I use;
What is it made of? – Where did it come
from? – Why does it look like that?
Who made it? – Can I take it apart?
Can I adapt it? – Can I fix it?
Do I need it?”
Ian Woolley – Carpenter

18. How Do WE Green
Our Learning ?
Context and Place

19. “We want to invent ecological transitions
at our place of work. We must question
the consequences of our acts on a daily
basis and learn to reuse and recycle our
resources.
Our ambitions come up against
environmental limits; we need a sense of
moderation & sobriety in our practices”
Jean-Marc Gancille – Darwin-eco

20. “They put a fence in the middle of our
park, round the spot where the Mayor
wanted to build an official group.
That evening it was covered with
children’s drawings demanding a free
lawn. His group was eventually
established outside Parcul Circului
This is our example of practical green
learning”
Razvan Necula – Parcul Circului

21. “Being an inspiring place, fostering
creativity, collaboration and innovation in
a FabLab.
A place where we eat, sleep, enjoy unique
rural nature and make cool stuff.
A work in progress; with our residents we
are always improving the spaces and
adapting them based on the overall vision
and current needs
Sara & Carlos – Buinho

22. “We need to rethink our Third Places,
make them very organic and free yet
based on multi-disciplinary co-working;
the ideas of collaboration on projects and
space sharing.
We need spaces that are welcoming and
open where everyone can create new
ideas and projects that can co-exist,
collaborate and contribute organically
Fernando & Ana – CoworkLisboa

23. How Do WE Green
Our Learning ?
Science and Technology

24. “Gather evidence. Test your assumptions.
Learn to model. Use the many tools
available. Learn variables that do good,
learn to amplify them. Learn variables that
do bad, learn to attenuate them. Learn
that, although crying is useful and
necessary, pain is relieved by "making"
things better. Wax on, wax off ”
Martin Owen - Bangor

25. “Travel by car and plane is a major source
of pollution.
With more trust and better use of
technology we can allow many more
people to work from home.
Lessons and lectures can also be
delivered online, reducing travel by
students and staff.”
Nick Jeans – Sero

26. “Technology is order imposed on nature.
We need a natural philosophy which respects
diverse opinions not pronouncements of great
men.
Nature is built with fractals and exists in a
quantum universe, but we are oppressed by
mechanical institutions and linear thinking.
Let's become learning alchemists co-creating
knowledge”
Fred Garnett – Republic of Learning

29. What is Heutagogy?
More in our earlier curated conversation

30. We started Curated Conversations as a kind of “wisdom of crowds”
method for sharing deep knowledge quickly. A number of people (12-
20) with expertise or experience summarise their understanding in 50
words. From these contributions both a shared narrative emerges and
some recommendations.
