Wilding Pedagogies: Impact of an In-Service Teacher Training in Greece with Nature as Co-Teacher
Western contemporary educational systems tend to re-produce, and thus maintain, the existent non-sustainable social structures, failing to live up to the present critical times.

The present article acknowledges th…
