The authors and contributors have presented a practical way forward to transform teaching in schools from job centred education to life centred and nature centred education.

Most importantly, young children are invited to take an active part in this journey. Authors throughout the guide display great care in their pedagogical approaches. The message of harmony, coexistence, peace, love, balance and justice is clear. * Charles Chikunda, National Program Officer - Education for Sustainable Development, UNESCO office in Harare, Zimbabwe *
