Listen "Regenerative Education with Benjamin Freud"
Episode Synopsis
What is it for education to be regenerative?No matter how long ago it was for some of us, our experiences in educational settings have a huge impact on how we go on to behave in the world. The ideas we encounter, the values we form, the relationships we develop and the ideas of ourselves we create in these spaces and phases of our lives often prove to be foundational. But schools, nurseries and universities are just as likely to reflect and perpetuate the dominant paradigm of control, separation, extraction and short-termism as any other. In this episode we speak to educational pioneer Benjamin Freud about a school that is trying to do things differently. Benjamin is Head of Upper School at Green School Bali which is working to re-design curriculums, re-think assessments and re-imagine power dynamics to lean into an understanding of the world as alive and uncontrollable and steward learners who can truly contribute to a thriving world.Key LinksGreen School Bali: https://www.greenschool.org/bali/Joanne McEachen on Contributive Learning: https://www.thelearnerfirst.com/2020/10/13/joanne-mceachen-on-contributive-learning/
