Abstract
This chapter presents an approach to Education for Sustainability (EfS) that seeks to highlight the importance of providing a pedagogy of hope, with compassion and creativity at its heart. The EfS movement has stemmed from an increasing understanding of multiple and global points of crisis that threaten the ability of humans, other species and ecosystems to flourish and thrive. Consequently, children are growing up in the midst of a sense of crisis, exposed to an array of mind-boggling sustainability challenges with spatial dimensions of global complexity and temporal dimensions of far-reaching future generational consequence. Engaging children in the process of conceptualising, planning, acting and reflecting helps them to develop the collective will, courage and wisdom necessary for the pursuit of more sustainable futures. The Silverhill Primary School's EfS work began by using the Department for Children, Schools and Families' Sustainable Schools Framework.
