About
This course offers participants an opportunity to share experiences and learn how, in Africa and through a global alliance, community governance initiatives are drawing out Earth Jurisprudence thinking: recognising that our personal and community ethics, practices and governance systems have been inspired by nature for millennia. Nature is both source of life and source of the order into which humans are born. Human resilience, physically and spiritually, is derived from governing ourselves such that we do not undermine the wellbeing of the Earth. This requires ecological literacy, which elders at the heart of traditional ecological governance systems pass on to the next generation through rigorous learning experiences.
This course is intended for:
- Lawyers working on environment, land, property, social justice and human rights issues, etc.
- Community activists and development workers wanting to explore and share strategies from other parts of the world
- Students and academics
- People from NGOs specialising in environment and developmental issues
- People wanting to explore the root causes of our multiple crises and pathways for meaningful transition
- Anyone interested in the compelling topics of Earth rights and human rights.
This course is run by Schumacher College in association with The Gaia Foundation.
