Agentic education for the Anthropocene: an example from Himalayan India

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The current and emerging uncertainties of the Anthropocene pose a challenge for education. How can we best educate our children to survive and thrive, with optimism for the future? We need to rethink education at a paradigmatic level. A small school in India, operating for over 75 years, offers such a paradigm-shifting education, based on Gandhian principles. This education, with its holistic approach to learning and ethical engagement with the community, provides an exemplar of a relational process of ethico-onto-epistemology. The resulting transdisciplinary and transformative pedagogic principles are transferable to other schools, within their own cultural contexts.
