The Sustainability Institute
At the Sustainability Institute, we engage in transformative learning towards just and flourishing futures. Our various activities and programmes strive to realise sustainability through learning, exploring and applying ways of being that are restorative and generative. Founded in 1999, the Institute is an international living and learning centre for theory and practice in values based, entrepreneurially empowered action towards positive social impact and ecological restoration. Our focus on children is centred within the Lynedoch Children’s House, Lynedoch Community Primary School and Lynedoch Youth programmes. We design and create a learning experience that proves that a more just and generative African future is possible, thereby inspiring and equipping learners with skills, knowledge and attitude to activate change for sustainability within their own respective contexts. The Institute is recognised as one of the leading expert institutions in navigating the transition towards social justice and change in complex futures in Africa and forms an institutional base for some of the top academics in the field. Our research and practice maintains a strong focus on sustainable African futures. Our focus on transformative learning from birth and social innovation is embedded through our research, teaching and practice. Our areas of specialisation include #ExecutiveDevelopment, #Research, #Education, #SustainabilityStrategyDevelopment, #LearningExperienceDesign, #CorporateSustainability
