Educational Hub

“Those who dwell, as scientists or laymen, among the beauties and mysteries of the Earth, are never alone or weary of life.” -Rachel Carson

“Education must be a pervasive life experience.” - Thomas Berry

The mission of the Educational Hub is to make accessible the ecologically and socially grounded Ecological Economic knowledge necessary for a sustainability transition to a wellbeing economy within planetary boundaries.

A big inspiration for the Educational Hub of EE4ALL is the need to reimagine higher education by fostering vanguard educational initiatives for a new Ecozoic era based on promoting mutually enhancing relationships among humans and the rest of nature. This page was created to overcome the unnecessary and rigid academic and disciplinary barriers that prevent the holistic knowledge creation, sharing, and collaboration needed to address complex sustainability issues. This is also one of the principal reasons why ecological economics was created in the first place so this why it is very fitting to make this knowledge widely available.

The Educational Hub was created to:

  • Provide an easy to access medium for all the knowledge related to ecological economics and allied heterodox schools of thought needed to inform a prosperous sustainability transformation to a right-sized economy. Learn more.

  • Pioneer Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) to enable anyone interested in learning about the science and management of sustainability to acquire the necessary knowledge and tools to develop systems thinking skills, and to think critically about how might rethink economics to achieve wellbeing within planetary boundaries. Learn more.

  • Make accessible the resources to enable educators to implement their own sustainability curriculum by tailoring it to their own interests, context, and institutional capabilities.

At the end of the day, we believe that applied knowledge is power.

We cannot do this work alone. This is why we work collaboratively with the Leadership for the Ecozoic, Rethinking Economics UVM, The Gund Institute for Environment, International Society for Ecological Economics, US Society for Ecological Economics, The Donella Meadows Project, Earth4All, Democracy Collaborative, Economists for Future, Doughnut Economics Action Lab, and any future partners of the network who want to rethink economics for people and planet.
