Sustainability education means proposing alternatives

“It is very important in sustainability education that you connect awareness about how things are, and how bad things are sometimes, with an alternative, a perspective to act, a possibility to change (...) If you don’t build on transformation and transformative aspects of transformation and you only focus on awareness without any action component then awareness leads to apathy and powerlessness, and that is the exact opposite of what you want to achieve” A.Wals, interviewed by C.Järnmark

« Je veux que mon tableau, mon dessin soit comme un arbre, une forêt… On passe d’une ligne, d’un trait fin à un point, une tache, comme on passe d’une brindille à un tronc. Mais il faut que tout tienne, que tout soit en place. » Nicolas de Staël
