Description
This book addresses the growing demand for applied experiences that move students beyond learning into the realm of doing by supporting the development of skills and competencies that align with emerging areas of innovation and work. It considers the urgent need to promote and invest in skills that support sustainable development, such as those needed to analyze and mitigate climate change. The authors argue that this challenge provides an opportunity to reimagine the use of Experiential Learning, connecting students with community-based partners doing the work of sustainable development around the world. Featuring compelling case studies of project partners in Nigeria, Uganda, and Tanzania working to address the complexities of climate change, they offer a practical model for implementing Experiential Learning that can be translated and scaled across sectors and resource environments. It is aimed at scholars and educators working across higher education and international education with interests in digital and experiential education.
Critic Reviews
"The tremendous value of the approach laid out in Experiential Learning and Community Partnerships for Sustainable Development is that it gives students the opportunity to experience their own power and agency to impact the world in a positive way."

"Experiential Learning and Community Partnerships for Sustainable Development is a treasure. It’s like a handbook for lost students like me. If only I had this in my freshman year."
