The Dalai Lama on Sustainability

If we unbalance Nature, human kind will suffer. Furthermore, we must consider future generations: a clean environment is a human right like any other. It is therefore part of our responsibility towards others to ensure that the world we pass on is as healthy as, if not healthier than we found it.-His Holiness the Dalai Lama

Welcome

Welcome to my Sustainability and Schools Blog:

The objectives of the programme are:

  • To explore the theory and practice of collaborative design projects with children.
  • To examine methodologies of participation, in particular those that aim to inspire responsible approaches to the environment and to others.
  • To examine the conditions under which different forms of participation have developed, the influences of education theory, policy and architectural theory.
  • To evaluate issues of well-being and the learning environment.

Please come back for updated information - Thank You
