A sustainability education consultancy dedicated to facilitating more effective ways of teaching and learning sustainability.​
"...the environmental crisis invovles a crisis of imagination,

the amelioration of which depends on finding better ways of

imagining nature and humanity's relationship with it".

Lawrence Buell, 'the environmental imagination', 1995.

     

what is needed 

to understand sustainability?


​powerful  imaginations need to be noticed, educated and developed.
​

​imagination is not of the unreal

it is a pathway to understanding the more real
​that is beyond our experience.


​The ability to imagine is not a specialised gift or talent but a muscle that can be strengthened and developed.​



We believe that educating your  your ability to imagine is the most important thing we can do
​



​What is imagination?

​IMAGINATION IS NOT DISLOCATED FROM THE WORLD it is deeply related with the earth.


​Imagining is not inconsequential


   it has material consequences on the brain,
body ​and our environment.

​The Environmental Imagination Map​
​

The Environmental Imagination Map is a conceptual tool for organising what it is to understand sustainability. It is also a teaching and learning tool designed for classroom use in any topic. The Environmental Imagination Map is a simple diagram that can demystify the complexities of sustainability issues. The map is the only student-centered framework we have in Environmental Education.

We can increase the effectiveness of teaching and the clarity of learning by educating the imagination. 


Education is changing. As well as attaining knowledge, and memorising factual data, we need to imagine to learn and understand. Our human imagination is often neglected and misunderstood, but it is a powerful and essential element of our consciousness, and our ability to think big, reflect, empathise and futurise.

​
​ENVIRONMENTAL Imagination Education has a big commitment: to advance the quality of Education for Sustainability and the perception of imagination in education around the world. 

Our resources are for anyone wanting to understand sustainability especially for 
for educators, school principals, facilitators, and curriculum writers wanting to engage ​with sustainability better or enhance  education for it. ​
