The landscapes of knowledge and learning have shifted hugely in recent years, with the development of technology, digital media, and more importantly, the enlivened human consciousness of our connections with each other, and our relations with the planet. Yet, practices of public education largely remain fixed to a model of a century's duration, unresponsive to the emerging conditions and perilous in terms of preparation for the future. If regenerative practices in education are imperative, what is the most promising direction for transformation? Deeply immersed in the exploration of regenerative education are collaborators and co-authors Kenneth Gergen and Scherto Gill. Gergen's writing on relational being lays an important conceptual foundation for educational transformation, while Gill's work on deep dialogue and well-being offers insights into viable practice. Together they will discuss and illustrate the potentials of a relational vision for regenerating education. Favoured by this vision is the thriving of innovation, co-inquiry, inclusion and collaboration for the global good.
