There are three substantive areas of our research, aligned with the three key risks:
Risk One | Impact of climate change
Response: what is meant by ‘Living Sustainably’?
- What knowledge and skills are needed?
- How do schools foster life-changing relationships with nature and the earth?
Risk Two | Fracturing communities
Response: what is meant by ‘Living Well Together’?
- How do schools foster values-led education?
- How are diversities understood and embraced to trigger meaningful change in the way we engage with inclusion and diversity?
Risk Three | Self, Purpose and Meaning
Response: what is meant by ‘Living Well’?
- How do we embrace science, philosophy and spirituality to guide children towards a strong sense of self, community and purpose?
- What life skills are needed to support better chances and choices for all children?
