Description

This is a symposium presented to the European Congress of Qualitative Research conference at University Plymouth, January 2023.

This symposium seeks to explore the following research questions:
• In what way does a wider lens of global ontologies facilitate our understanding of sustainability?
• What do diverse cultural models of spiritual formation offer in combination and in application within education settings?
• What role does interdisciplinary research and collaborative work play in creating new knowledge around sustainability in education including early childhood and higher education?
• How can we come up for inspirations and challenges in the (post) Anthropocene to support the work with children, young people and families?
• What are the implications for now and future in the context of unstable conflicting national and international political, economic, socio-cultural climates?
