The Morning Break with Dorian Brown 01-10-21: Sustainability in schools

d'Arcy Lunn takes time out (following a mammoth 50km run around Shanghai!) to talk sustainability in schools. How can we use the Global Goals (SDGs) as a 'plan' to build positive dispositions within our students towards the World and humanity? How can we demonstrate that local, 'teaspoons of change' actually have the impact that we say they do? How do we make sustainable actions the default in our day to day?
d'Arcy shares his knowledge, experiences and enthusiasm for global citizenship and really made me think hard about how we as humans, teachers, schools and communities can move from 'blah blah blah' to action!
