Graduate Certificate in Education (Social Ecology)
The Graduate Certificate in Education (Social Ecology) explores the dynamic inter-relationships between the personal, social, environmental and ‘spiritual’ domains. We acknowledge that everything we do as individuals affects others; our shared communities and environments. We view ourselves as being parts of the systems (local to global) in which we live, and needing to take responsibility for our roles. Key themes include transformative learning and leadership, applied imagination and creativity, environmental education, social action and advocacy, eco-psychology, eco-spirituality, sense of place and the emergent characteristics of complexity, systemics and ecological thinking.
Career Opportunities
Graduates will develop skills in the areas of environmental education, environmental advocacy, ecological systems, environmental futures, critical and transformative learning and leadership and other areas of interest.
