Lighting up pathways for a new world

Posted in: Comment, News and Updates

Another day, and there's yet another ESD conference in an exotic location.  This one's in that part of Spain that is forever British.  No, not Ibiza – Gibraltar.

The breathless strapline for this event (I'll not be going) is: Universities as Beacons of Change: education for sustainability lighting up pathways for a new world.  

No matter how much you might admire all this [ beacon – lighting – pathway – change – brave new world ] as an idea, you might have cause to doubt the image that accompanies it.  It's a lighthouse which, of course, is not an image associated with progressive change and new worlds, but with wrecks and disaster.  How apt.
