Learning to Do
Learning to do refers to developing practical skills and action competence in relation to environmental sustainability. Integrating theory and practice is a key principle in learning the skills and actions required for environmental sustainability. Learners engage in real-world issues and understand concepts in real-world contexts. The natural, social and built environment are used as a context and source of learning. Learners are given opportunities to connect with their local and global spheres of influence, and apply their skills and practices in various settings.
To inspire hope and change, sharing stories of personal and community experiences of action in moving toward environmental sustainability is a key component of learning to do.
