A 6-Week Self-Paced Online Course to inspire and help artist-teachers, creative practitioners, arts administrators and cultural policy writers communicate integrated ecosocial values with ease.
Join ecological artist | educator Dr Cathy Fitzgerald with philosopher Dr Nikos Patedakis, with other learners from Ireland and across the world to understand why integrated ecosocial values are crucial to guide us all in the urgent transition to a just and sustainable world.
Becoming fluent in more expansive and inclusive values is essential for cultural institutions’ communications, programming or education outreach, for individuals’ creative practice, teaching or curating and for science and business, to communicate the intersecting values of a sustainable, just world.
The Earth Charter and the children’s Little Earth Charter are rich values frameworks for art teachers and educators, and are ideal to guide an integrated whole-of-institute ethos for sustainability and social justice.
The Earth Charter is also particularly valuable to guide long-term embedded-in-place art community practices. During the course, Cathy will share how she is applying the Earth Charter to the Creative Drummin Bog wetland restoration community project.
Cathy is an accredited ESD Earth Charter Educator. Earth Charter International holds the UNESCO Chair for ESD and values education for sustainability. Cathy gratefully acknowledges an Arts Council Development Award that sponsored her training with the UN UPeace ESD Earth Charter programme.
WHAT’S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THE EARTH CHARTER?
The Earth Charter’s four pillars and 16 principles can help you more easily communicate universal shared values for sustainable, just living:– ecological integrity, social justice, equality and intergenerational sustainability for an enduring culture of peace for all.
The Earth Charter has inspired creatives around the world, storytellers, artists, visionaries, curators and educators to communicate more expansive and inclusive values for a more sustainable and just world.
The Earth Charter is an inspiring, visionary grassroots’ peoples planetary citizens’ framework for TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING for high-level change.
The Earth Charter is remarkable as it has been strengthened by over two decades of global citizens’ contributions – it is the pre-eminent Peoples’ Treaty for personal, collective and planetary wellbeing, recognised by UNESCO since 2019. It is the recognised framework to guide all our activities toward ethically achieving the UN Sustainability Developments Goals in a just and equitable way.
