Since the arrival of cinema, film theorists have studied how spectators perceive the representations that the medium offers to our senses. Early film theorists have bent their heads over what cinema is, how cinema can be seen as art, but also over what cinema is capable of. One of the earliest film theorists, Hugo Münsterberg argued in 1916 that the uniqueness of cinema, or as he calls it photoplay, lies in the way it offers the possibility to represent our mental perception and organisation of the reality, or the world we live in: “the photoplay tells us the human story by overcoming the forms of the outer world, namely, space, time, and causality, and by adjusting the events to the forms of the inner world, namely, attention, memory, imagination, and emotion” (Münsterberg [1916] 2004, 402)

Light shine glimmer - Leak spill shimmer is an exhibition that ecologically connects the relationship between technology and humans using analog devices. The exhibition is a collaborative project by Luuk Schroder (the Netherlands), Lucy Cordes Engelman (the Netherlands/USA), and Bea Haut (UK).The works in the exhibition take analog film, a medium little in use today, as its point of departure. It sets analog film as “a meeting place” and is interested in the way that a film screening functions as a place to meet. It creates an interconnected environment where you can directly feel and experience emotions which encompass non-visual senses, such as the haptic elements of analog films managed by hands and sounds transmitted through old media. An ecological environment is created in the process of touching, seeing, walking, and experiencing films with your body in the exhibition hall.

This article will discuss the role of environmentalism in environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD) in the context of ecopedagogy. Ecopedagogy calls for the remaking of capitalist practices and seeks to re-engage democracy to include multispecies interests in the face of our current global ecological crisis. In this article, the written reports by international business students on the documentary film If a Tree Falls about a radical environmental movement will be discussed. The aim of this article is to reflect upon the question of whether confrontational questions posed by radical environmentalism can move students to re-examine certain central assumptions within their own society and education. The analysis of students’ individual writing assignments after viewing the film is placed in the context of the discussion about the aims of education in relation to environmental advocacy. This case study seeks to provide an example of how environmental advocacy and the objective of pluralistic education can be combined as mutually supportive means of achieving both democratic learning and learning for environmental sustainability. https://doi.org/10.1177/0973408215569119 https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

This article reflects on formal education for sustainable development (ESD), demonstrating how critical course on culturally diverse ways of relating to nature can contribute both to an appreciation of alternative ways of relating to nature and to a more nuanced understanding of one's own cultural and ideological positioning. This article will focus on the analysis of student reactions to the film Schooling the World, shown to students as part of this critical course. The film stimulated the discussion of the effects of Western-style education on indigenous communities. In their evaluation, the students have demonstrated their critical ability to look beyond their own neoliberal education and cosmopolitan culture. The course described in this article can serve as a blueprint for educational initiatives that combine both ethnographic insights and critical scholarship addressing environmental education and ESD. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijer.2013.10.002 https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

Onderwijsinnovaties leiden vaak niet tot de beoogde resultaten. Stagnatie in onderwijsinnovaties is een belangrijke oorzaak voor het uitblijven van resultaten. De stagnatie is het gevolg van twee kernproblemen in onderwijsinnovatie: (1) een lineaire basisredenering die geen recht doet aan het moeilijk te voorspellen verloop van onderwijsinnovatie en (2) de innovatie gaat voorbij aan het inhoudelijke debat met docenten, waardoor docenten niet geneigd zijn het nieuwe gedrag te implementeren. In het promotie-onderzoek van Remco Coppoolse wordt de lineaire basisredenering ingewisseld voor het dynamisch multi-actor perspectief. Dit nieuwe perspectief vraagt om ander gedrag van de leider van onderwijsinnovatie, de innovatiemanager. Doel van deze studie is om werkregels te ontwerpen die een innovatiemanager kan inzetten om continuïteit in onderwijsinnovatie te realiseren, vanuit het dynamisch multi-actor perspectief. In een ontwerpgericht onderzoek is met drie verschillende onderzoeksmethoden een set van 18 werkregels ontwikkeld voor innovatiemanagers. De werkregels zijn geprojecteerd op een spiraalvormig ordeningskader, waarmee een oriëntatiebasis is ontstaan voor innovatiemanagers, een bron waaruit zij kunnen putten bij het begrijpen en beïnvloeden van onderwijsinnovatie. De oriëntatiebasis omvat vier rondes die de overdracht van ontwikkelenergie tussen actorengroepen representeren in verschillende fases van de onderwijsinnovatie. Vrijkomen van ontwikkelenergie houdt de onderwijsinnovatie gaande, uitblijven leidt tot stagnatie. Eerste proeven in de praktijk laat zien dat inzet van de oriëntatiebasis door innovatiemanagers bijdraagt aan de continuïteit van onderwijsinnovatie.

Environmental advocacy has a difficult position within environmental education (EE) and education for sustainable development (ESD). Proponents of pluralistic approaches to education see advocacy as a form of indoctrination. However, pluralistic education itself can be seen as a form of indoctrination. Its normative assumptions are based on the neo-liberal capitalist values that tend to view environmentalism as a threat to the established norms. In this paper I will argue that environmental advocacy is in fact essential for educating critical citizens capable of addressing sustainability challenges. This argument will be supported by the written reports on the documentary film about the radical environmental movement presented to the students of International Business Management Studies (IBMS) of The Hague University of Applied Science (HHS). This case study will provide an example of how environmental advocacy and the objective of pluralistic education can be reconciled and explore the advantages of combining business education with education for deep ecology. https://doi.org/10.1504/IJISD.2014.066621 https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenkopnina/

In May 2011, Dutch students from the honors program in geosciences of Utrecht University, led by Professor Marca Wolfensberger, engaged in an experimental-learning project in Paris, France, with a group of American students from the honors program of Columbia College, South Carolina, led by Professors Christine Hait, Corinne Mann, and John Zubizarreta. Literally and figuratively, the city of Paris served as a salon for the project: a place where rational discussion, cross-cultural dialog, collaborative learning, and culminating critical reflection about the uniqueness and value of the learning process itself were stimulated by the informal setting of a vibrant international city that provided the context for the two groups of students to explore the topics of expatriate artist culture and film history in Paris, especially during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
