ABSTRACT
The final chapter looks at how educators can be agents of change. It examines how practitioners can become emotionally and ecologically literate in order to be more effective educators. It goes on to look at what has happened to the human race in evolutionary terms and how we now need an empathic civilisation where the language of feelings is so important. It goes on to make a clarion call for more connected communities at all levels of society and for education and educators to advocate for a more nature-based education, citing a number of positive projects and local community education programmes as models of change.
