Summary:
We can learn through good communication, and communicate through learning and both need to resonate with the transformative practices that affect both self and others. Learning can be informal or formal.
It is possible to study formal college or university programmes on sustainable development or watch serious documentaries or become immersed in exciting Hollywood movies, and an increasing number of computer games, which take sustainability, or more likely crises emanating from unsustainability, as their central theme.
Fine art, theatrical performances on stage or in the street, marketing and advertising, photography, serious journalism and blog posts on the Internet, can all play a part in spreading pro-sustainable messages and entreating people to think and act differently.
Indeed, media literacy is itself a form of citizenship education for all of us who now inhabit Education for sustainable development (ESD) has gradually increased its influence on teaching and learning practice, but it is not yet mainstream or even universally applauded. All education is, in effect, environmental, and sustainable education is, by design or by default, here to stay.
