LOLA proposes to focus on the local context: what is happening in the street nearby? What did neighbours implement to reduce their impact on the environment? What actions are efficient and have been successfully adapted in the area we live in? etc. LOLA aims at looking for promising sustainable initiatives at a walking distance from the school; to search for people or groups of people who invent new solutions in their daily living that is likely to reduce their impact on the environment and to regenerate the social fabric around; to raise awareness and concerns with close and concrete examples\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>ADOPT ACTION LEARNING:<\/strong><br \/>\nDeciding (and teaching) sustainability issues requires specific knowledge and background that is progressively shaping and slowly diffusing among the population. Sustainability triggers contradictory interests and lots of distorted and fault information. To make one personal point of view at it on the planet scale, is challenging for all (for teachers and educational staff as well\u2026)<br \/>\nLOLA is an investigation process based on interviews. It doesn\u2019t require particular knowledge or preparation for the teacher: they will learn together asking questions; collecting material; wondering why and how the initiative they are investigating may have less or more impact on the environment; etc\u2026 They will compare points of view, come back to the class having built their own local temporary knowledge. They will have learned to live in a fussy and evolving environment and to permanently question it\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>ACT NOW:<\/strong><br \/>\nThe sustainability crisis is not anymore a question of a long time: damages; degradation; pollution\u2026 It is sensitive issue in our everyday life and has become complicated by the present financial and economic crisis. Our small blue planet is dramatically requiring new regulations, reforms and paradigms. But radical change doesn\u2019t come only from top-down policies\u2026<br \/>\nLOLA proposes to focus on bottom-up initiatives. Initiatives, that don\u2019t require any political decision or change at a global level before they can be implemented. Initiatives that can be implemented by a small group of people, creative and industrious enough to invent and introduce new and more sustainable ways of living in their everyday\u2026<br \/>\n<strong>CHANGE WAYS OF LIVING:<\/strong><br \/>\nEffort towards sustainability tends first to reduce our impact on the environment improving current solutions: they try to provide the same with less: the same products and services consuming less energy, less water, generating less pollution, etc. but this strategy has clear limits at the world scale: the western way of living cannot be generalised to the all world population without conducting to a short term catastrophe!<br \/>\nLOLA therefore proposes to search for new sustainable way of living where \u201csustainable ways of living stands for daily life activities where people and communities succeeds in living better reducing their ecological footprint and increasing the quality of the social fabric\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The LOLA Vision is articulated on four major points: FOCUS ON LOCAL SCALE:\u00a0LOLA aims at looking for promising sustainable initiatives at a walking distance from the school\u2026 ADOPT ACTION LEARNING:\u00a0LOLA is an investigation process based on interviews.
