What values are important for a more sustainable world?
This downloadable poster shows a Wordle image created as part of an exercise on the course. The explanatory text on the poster reads:
“The University of Edinburgh’s Learning for Sustainability: Developing a Personal Ethic MOOC attracted over 12,000 learners from 166 countries. Approximately 450
participants from this range were sampled and contributed to this word cloud that captures their response to the question above and identifies common values (as defined by them) that they consider to be important in creating an optimal existence for themselves and others. This was just one exercise taken from the main five-week course which aimed to encourage learners to develop a positive, informed response to local and global sustainability issues and help them feel enabled to take positive action.”
