ABSTRACT

This chapter provides three accounts from four graduates working with young people on issues of social justice and sustainability. First, Jane Riddiford, growing foodg—rowing people, Second, Joanne Bailey, learning for sustainability: living a new worldview, and third, Lalith Gunaratne and Mihirini De Zoysa, a journey of dialoguing: peace and inner peace. Their approaches have strong similarities in wanting to listen to young voices, work collaboratively, and foster participants' sense of agency and potential for action. In the stories shows how the graduates have formulated what they are doing in terms of ideas and practices, and how their work is developing. In Gunaratne and Zoysa's story the political challenges of the Sri Lanka context are also highly apparent. Given intergenerational issues in notions of sustainability, working with young people means engaging at a political edge. The young people who did demonstrate their leadership within the programme were amazing in spreading the word about sustainability.
