The Lovelock Curriculum Development Project

 

Teaching Gaia Science in Primary and Secondary Schools

 

Gaia's Company, with the support of James Lovelock's Gaia Charity, is launching an initiative to devise and develop a range of teaching materials for use in Primary and Secondary schools which explore the science of Gaia Theory and its wider implications for the whole area of education for sustainability.

 

As a preliminary step, we would like to hear from any teachers working in either of these sectors who already include specific references to Gaia Science, Earth System Science or Gaia Theory in their teaching programme.

 

We would also like to hear from any teachers who would be interested in helping to develop the materials and/or in using the materials as part of a pilot project.

 

Please contact Peter Horton at gaiascompany@free.fr for further details.

"In Gaia we are just another species,
neither the owners nor the stewards of

this planet.

Our future depends much more upon a
right relationship with Gaia than with the
never ending drama of human interest."

James Lovelock
