Our World Our Futures 2023

The Our World, Our Futures study ran from autumn 2022 to summer 2023. It connected researchers, primary school teachers and children in the UK and the Maldives.

We wanted to know what transformative Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship (ESDGC) might look like in classrooms and how children and teachers experienced teaching and learning ESDGC in innovative ways.

Funded by an Oxford Brookes University Research Excellence grant, Our World, Our Futures was an initiative of the Children and Young People Network and involved an international and interdisciplinary team of researchers.

The study’s findings inspired the design and research questions of the new project, Our Earth, Our Futures, which is running until December 2025.
