Sustainability Dimension
Sustainability =• Complex, dynamic and geographical• Political, social, economic and
environmental• Critical issues – poverty, climate, energy,
oceans • People = resilience and adaptation

Nature: Physical equations Describe processes
Society: Decisions on how to Use the Earth´s resources

SPACIT summaryConstructivist
• we actively construct our own citizenship• SPACIT stresses active participation and interaction
Intercultural• considers diversity – in ideas, values and behaviours
Built on dialogue• negotiation – communication - appropriation of space• empowerment to participate in the debate about the sort
of future society we need to createTechnological – digital geo-media and the citizen

Educational futures (Hicks, 2012 )
Do we have the power to decide on what kind of future society we want to create?Geography education needs to:• develop critical thinking skills to accurately assess our
present situation • stimulate creative thought on which alternative futures we
want• equip citizens to make choices on the basis of accurate
informationHicks, D. (2012). The future only arrives when things look dangerous: Reflections on futures education in the UK. Futures, 44(1), 4-13.

Geography as powerful knowledge (in the Anthropocene)
Geography encourages,• ‘world knowledge’: deep, descriptive and explanatory • the development of the relational thinking that
underpins geographical thought• a propensity to think about social, economic and
environmental futures (Lambert, 2013)
