Who Teaches Who

Our third Rio+20 entry comes from PhD student Carla Washbourne.

Carla only narrowly missed out on making the shortlist with her engaging entry on the dangers of our currently prevalent system of rigid pedagogy and the risk this poses to the enthusiasm of young people.

Echoing a theme identified by many of our entrants (that of the importance of education in helping to solve issues of sustainable development), Carla's entry was particularly praised by the judges for the personal and passionate spin she applied to the issues: by doing this, she really captured the imagination of the judges and prompted a lot of involved debate on the issue!
