Rethinking positivist education
A positivist education model, with a neoliberal and top-down approach to learning, has been challenged in many environmental sustainability education programmes. New approaches call for collective, participatory and action-oriented learning. What follows is more diversity and intercultural collaboration, together with engagement with marginalised communities. Bioeconomy education fits perfectly into these approaches to education, where engaging multiple stakeholders in curriculum development and implementation can create a sustainable education programme.
