Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education
Aboriginal Ecology – Ways of Knowing leading to Global Ecological Conversion and Cosmic Salvation
THIS COURSE HAS BEEN CANCELLED
COURSE DESCRIPTION
In Laudato Si', Pope Francis asks that we experience an ecological conversion, where we seek to live in harmony with nature rather than dominate it. This, he remarks, begins by changing our lifestyles so as to ensure that all benefit equally from the Earth's resources, including future generations. Pope Francis urges us to move forward in a bold cultural revolution, creating a new ecological culture, where alternative and distinctive ways of believing, thinking and being are adopted. Pope Francis invites us to draw from ecologically-orientated cultures. In this course we encounter how Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing and being provide an incredible foundation and impetus for the courageous Cultural Revolution Pope Francis beckoned us to.
