O knihe

This book explores the link between higher education and possibility by examining the role of educational environments in cultivating knowledge, skills, as well as imaginative and transformative capacities essential for addressing complex social challenges. It discusses how encouraging possibility thinking can trigger new cognitive processes and empower students to imagine, question, and innovate through criticality and cooperation, hence contributing meaningfully to the transformation of society and solving its global problems.

A short yet concise reflection on the importance for students to imagine alternatives, think critically, create, and collaborate, this volume prompts to cultivate educational environments that contribute to societal progress toward human and ecological well-being. Boasting a combination of theory and practice, as well as practical pedagogical insights, this is a timely and inspiring read for academics interested in possibility studies, critical and creative thinking, education, and related fields.
