£25.00

Published for the 30th anniversary of Schumacher College, U.K., this is an outstanding collection of essays on a subject of urgent importance for our world, afflicted as it is by climate change, inequality, mass disadvantage, and pandemics.

The editors are: Lorna Howarth who has worked in related fields for decadesĀ and Satish Kumar, Editor Emeritus of Resurgence & Ecologist, author of many books (most recently, Elegant Simplicity), and the Founder of Schumacher College, U.K.

The 2023 Bicentenary Medal of the RSA (Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce) was awarded to the Founder of Schumacher College, Mr. Satish Kumar; a short feature regarding that is: Satish Kumar and Schumacher College win prestigious medal (dartington.org)

The College itself was originally established as a Western equivalent of Shantiniketan, the learning environment pioneered by the Nobel Prize-winning Indian educationist and writer, Rabindranath Tagore, and of the learning environment pioneered in his ashrams by the leader of Indiaā€™s freedom struggle, Mahatma Gandhi.

The College is synonymous with the effort to create a model of learning that develops alumni who have the skills and passions that will make the contemporary world a better place.

Not surprising, then, that the essential message of this book is that we need to abandon the evolutionary perspective on education which places humans at the top of the tree to exploit and despoil everything below us.

We need to replace it with an ethical and ecological education which teaches us responsibility and stewardship in relation to all of humanity and in relation to all of nature.

4 reviews for Regenerative Learning – With a Foreword by H.H. Pope Francis

  1. Prabhu Guptara

    “ground-breaking book” …”At a time when we desperately need a new and compelling vision for education Regenerative Learning offers a fresh perspective” … “radical and deeply grounded solutions, spelt out in a dazzling array of essays from both internationally acclaimed experts and relative newcomers to the field” – Stephen Scoffham, Visiting Reader in Sustainability, Canterbury Christ Church University, U.K.

    (though, apparently, this blog was originally featured in the monthly Us in the World Newsletter, available around Canterbury campus and online, Pippa Rann Books can find no trace of the Newsletter on that university website – or indeed anywhere else on the internet; however, we are delighted that it was re-used on the blog and is therefore available at the URL provided above).
