  • Description: <jats:p> A pedagogy for a sustainable future requires a reengagement of the vital aspects of being human, connecting body, mind, and spirit in an integrated whole. To make the necessary changes, the future needs people of character and commitment in addition to critical thinkers. A relational model of learning cultivates the qualities of character and commitment by assisting learners in developing a deeper sense of connection to place, to others, to mystery, and to the future. </jats:p>
