The ideals of economic and personal progress and growth are slowly destroying the planet we inhabit and its inhabitants along with it. At the same time education – often seen as the solution to this problem - is slowly being suffocated by the very same ideals. How could we think differently about education?

In an age that focuses on function, goal management and instrumental utility, education easily falls into the background. Why is it like that?

Putting the World in the Centre of Education

“The idea of world-centred education is first of all meant to highlight that educational questions are fundamentally existential questions, that is questions about our existence ‘in’ and ‘with’ the world, natural and social, and not just our existence with ourselves” (Biesta, 2021, pp. 90-91)
