An education for regeneration and abundance.
At its simplest, regenerative education emphasizes connection to Self, connection with Others, and connection to Nature. In exploring these connections, regenerative education seeks to cultivate an understanding of our interdependence and inspire a sense of responsibility toward preserving and enhancing the ecosystems that sustain us.
If we don’t learn how to live in this way when we are young, if we aren’t taught the scientific reasons why all of us need to shift our patterns of life to a more regenerative model, we probably won’t change later on, and unhealthy patterns will become fixed in place. And for those currently in school, there may not be much of an environment to inherit, when their time comes. One quality of an RC Scholar is Responsibility, “to be aware of the needs of society and be a changemaker.” What greater responsibility than to work towards the regeneration of our planet.
We are part of a web of environmental connections, and day by day we are realizing that if we are to lead healthy, happy lives, the world around us needs to be healthy, too. This is why regeneration and environmental awareness are key priorities for Robert College. We are determined to continually review our practices to ensure that resources are used optimally, without compromising the needs of future generations.
