How does TOE help to address and resolve development and environmental issues?
By helping ‘raise the game’ within development and global education. TOE intends to support a pedagogical process to move people move away from simplistic, uncritical and patronising practices in development and global education that tend to reproduce inequalities in power relations, dialogue and the distribution of resources and labour. This shift in thinking is necessary if we want to create a context where our future is negotiated in dialogue with others and the cultural roots of historically created inequalities in power, representation and the distribution of resources and labour are addressed. This issue is also addressed in the first and last parts of the article Translating theory into practice and walking minefields: lessons from the project ‘Through Other Eyes’ available for download here.
