DOWN to EARTH @School
How do we raise our children? What society will they build together? We are born sustainable beings, but the way we are raised in our society is what makes us the unsustainable beings we have become. The world around us is changing and we have to educate our children in a way that they will be able to take on the challenges of the future. We have to nurture the innate knowing of children - reminding them who they are and what they can do. We have to facilitate a change in education where children don’t have to get lost and can become the generation that turns the tide.
“We offer educational institutions and teachers the tools to take pupils and students on a journey of recovery: re-connecting heart and mind, re-aligning purpose with progress.”With DTE@SCHOOL we want to offer a ‘missing element’ in the current curriculum: The understanding of one’s role and responsibility towards our planet and all its life. Understanding one’s self. Nurturing and maintaining the natural connection that we all have to the source of life, as well as nurturing children’s natural intuitive ability to question.
We are currently developing 4 different and tailored programs for the following age groups:
- Final year of primary school - 12 years of age
- Final year of secondary school - 16-18 years of age
- University (pre-career) - 19-22 years of age
- Teachers and School management - primary, secondary and higher education
This film is not to be consumed, it’s to be worked with!
DOWN to EARTH Collective
We Ignite ChangeWe believe in your ability to activate the change you wish to see in this world. The mission of the Down to Earth Collective is to ignite and enable people-powered change towards a more sustainable world. Inspired by the teachings of the Earth’s Wisdom Keepers, the enterprise will facilitate this change by waking up people throughout our society. We empower individuals, communities and organisations and invite them to challenge their existing mind-set by asking the right questions and take responsibility for their own impact and footprint. Using the film DOWN to EARTH as a starting point, we seek to unlock the huge dormant potential of individuals and communities, creating a critical mass of Earth Keepers around the world.
DOWN to EARTH offers tools to help you ask the right questions to gain back your power to dream, follow your visions, share your gifts, live with purpose and to contribute to a better future.
Rather than trying to fight the system or the mindset of its leaders, our aim is to generate people-powered change from the ground up: unleash the potential of the common people. The message of the Earth Keepers in the film is very clear: WE ARE NOT POWERLESS! We do not depend on anyone to manifest our impact. So let's start today!
Our focus is in the three areas where one’s mindset is predominantly formed: at home, at school and at work. Not only are these three environments the biggest influencers on our views and mindset, but also where we as individuals can make the most impact.
Pupils, students, teachers & educational institutions
Preparing the next generation to preserve livelihood on Earth.
Leaders and transformers in corporations & institutions
Impacting businesses to ultimately create a full circular economy
Households, parents, communities
Creating change in our lifestyle, our backyard, our own community
