L'enfant, Montessori et nous...

In this recorded session hosted by the Sustainability Institute in Stellenbosch, Shaun Dunn and Allan Nguyen explore the profound role of education in shaping a regenerative future. Together, they discuss how education can move beyond information transfer to become a cultural force—nurturing curiosity, gratitude, and a sense of interconnection with the living world.

Topics include:

- Expansion and contraction in nature as a metaphor for growth

- Montessori’s view of interdependence and the prepared environment

- Ubuntu and the importance of community in education

- Supporting children’s independence as the foundation for interdependence

- Eco-literacy, connection to nature, and experiential learning

- Rethinking error, performance, and assessment in education

- Building an interdependent mindset for sustainable living

The conversation blends personal stories, philosophical reflection, and practical insights for educators, parents, and anyone interested in education as a path toward a thriving future.
