Learning Ecosystems Trilogy: Weaving our relational capacity for flourishing futures. Report 2: SchoolWeavers Tool

Abstract

In Report II we explore a crucial question in our framework: What is the role of schools as active weavers of learning and flourishing ecosystems? Schools are called to be central actors in the development and evolution of Learning Ecosystems as they play a central role in all countries, and have a tremendous impact on education and flourishment of our children and young. Nevertheless, evidence shows that schools worldwide are primarily designed for and focused on instruction and achievement, giving less attention to the design of caring, collaborative and innovative cultures within school walls and across the wider community, which in turn becomes essential for students’ and teachers’ learning and wellbeing. SchoolWeavers Tool: Weaving ecosystems for belonging and human-centred learning Report II analyzes the SchoolWeavers as a tool that supports school leaders to weave learning ecosystems inside out, engaging and resonating with the community to collectively enhance a relational culture for learning and flourishing. The research-action work shares the experience of the tool in schools in Taiwan, South Africa, Switzerland and Spain.
