LIVING WELL IN A WORLD WORTH LIVING IN FOR ALL ...

This open access book is the first of a two-volume series focusing on how people are being
enabled or constrained to live well in today's world  and how to bring into reality a world
worth living in for all. The chapters offer unique narratives drawing on the perspectives of
diverse groups such as: asylum-seeking and refugee youth in Australia  Finland  Norway and
Scotland  young climate activists in Finland  Australian Aboriginal students  parents and
community members  families of children who tube feed in Australia  and international research
students in Sweden. The chapters reveal not just that different groups have different ideas
about a world worth living in  but also show that  through their collaborative research
initiative  the authors and their research participants were bringing worlds like these into
being. The volume extends an invitation to readers and researchers in education and the social
sciences to consider ways to foster education that realises transformed selves and transformed
worlds: the good for each person  the good for humankind  and the good for the community of
life on the planet. The book also includes theoretical chapters providing the background and
rationale behind the notion of education as initiating people into 'living well in a world
worth living in'. An introductory chapter discusses the origins of the concept and the phrase.
