In a time of planetary crisis, Education for Transformation reimagines humanistic education as a vital response to the ethical, pedagogical, and ecological challenges of the Anthropocene. The authors depart from a relational, ecologically aware and epistemically plural interpretation of humanism. They offer fresh perspectives like ecological mindfulness, planetary interdependence, and critical takes on EdTech that can be used to reflect on ways in which educators can foster responsibility, resilience, and hope. With both moral insight and practical relevance, this book invites the reader to rethink what it means to teach and learn on a fragile, interconnected planet.
