Many people around the world, including civil society, scientists, youth, and policymakers are concerned about the future of our common home and the choices we must make today to ensure that we change our course and stop contributing to our current planetary crises. To do this, all decision-makers, including governments, educational institutions, the private sector, and individuals must come together to achieve our global goals for justice, sustainability and peace, guided by common values. Through this intercultural dialogue, we will explore what it means to work towards an ecological civilization and the implications of that for education, specifically higher education. 

This webinar is the third one in a webinar series leading up to the 2024 Earth Charter Conference: Reimagining Education for Ecological Civilizations. 

In this webinar, we aim to clarify the link between ecological civilizations and education. To do so, this panel will address the following questions:

  1. What does the term Ecological Civilization mean?  
  2. How do you imagine the kind of education that fosters ecological civilizations? What are some specific examples of what is currently being done, or what could be done, towards this vision in the context of education?

  • Driven by the principle of relationality and commitment to the common good, the Center for Process Studies (CPS) works on cutting edge discourse across disciplines to promote the exploration of interconnection, change, and intrinsic value as core features of our world.As a faculty-based research center at Claremont School of Theology (CST), CPS conducts research and develops educational resources that explore the implications of these principles on a range of topics (e.g. science, ecology, culture, philosophy, religion, education, psychology, political theory, etc.) in a unique transdisciplinary style that harmonizes fragmented disciplinary thinking in order to develop integrated and holistic modes of understanding.The CPS mission is carried out through academic conferences, courses, and seminars, a robust visiting scholars program, the world’s largest library related to process-relational writings, and an array of publications (including a peer-reviewed journal and a number of active books series).
