Abstract: | As we hurtle into the twenty-first century our changing world places ever-increasing responsibilities on educators. To better focus the intent of this AIJRE Special Issue, Educating for Cultural Sustainability, we need to consider the connection between culture and sustainability, and the role played by education. The importance of sustainability, decision-making and acting in the present to ensure that resources are still available in the future, has been well accepted since before the turn of the twenty-first century. Equally important is the need for educators to take a sustainability worldview, "seeing and engaging with the world through a lens of sustainability" (Nodlet, 2015, p. 10). Taking such a view into learning situations helps our future citizens to better appreciate the impact on others, both now and in the future, of their decisions and behaviour, and thus enact a sustainable lifestyle to better preserve the finite resources that are available. |
