🌍 Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet 🌍

This Earth Day, the global theme "Our Power, Our Planet" reminds us that meaningful environmental change starts with collective action and community mobilisation. But how do we translate that vision into real-world impact?

A recent study published in Glocality offers valuable insights on building the collaborative frameworks we need. Authored by Katharina Selina Braun, a graduate of Global Project and Change Management (GPCM) | Windesheim Honours College, her study on transformative online collaboration reveals that successful sustainability networks require:

✳️ Non-hierarchical spaces where diverse voices can contribute equally
✳️ Local biosphere mapping to ground global goals in community realities
✳️ Human connection through informal dialogue that builds trust
✳️ Integration of indigenous science alongside conventional approaches
✳️ Clear shared visions that align individual and organisational efforts

We cannot solve planetary challenges in silos. Instead, we need networks that empower everyone to contribute their unique experiences and expertise. Braun’s article emphasises that navigating transformative systems requires diverse socio-economic, educational, and cultural backgrounds working together. That is the real power behind "Our Power, Our Planet."

We are pleased to share the Special Collection on "Exploring and Altering Existing Practices in Higher Education within the Framework of Reconnection to Self, Others, and Nature."

This Special Collection focuses on perspectives and implementations for reimagining higher education within a Western context, with a particular emphasis on Education for Sustainable Development ( ). It reflects on the experiences of students who worked on a project over two semesters as part of a four-year degree program Global Project and Change Management (GPCM) | Honours College. The project informed the creation of practical learning activities and tools to integrate self, others, and nature into higher education for sustainable development, promoting a shift toward and holistic educational frameworks that incorporate non-Western narratives and practices.

The collection includes four articles: an introduction; an essay on Value Creators (VC) and Managing Projects for Sustainable Development (MPSD) semesters using systems thinking and Theory U; and two research articles on spirituality and transformative teaching competencies.

Have you read ’s article on how marine science education is delivered in primary schools in Matemwe, Zanzibar?

Here is a message from the author Bart Henk Wessels, a graduate of Global Project and Change Management, about his motivation behind the study:

“My research in Matemwe, Zanzibar, explored how Marine Science Education can be integrated into primary schools despite significant structural challenges, while building on the opportunities educators themselves identify. What emerged strongly was the role of students themselves. As ocean stewards, they do not simply absorb knowledge; they radiate it into their surrounding environment. They influence parents, shift community behaviours, and contribute to long-term environmental transformation.

This is where the real potential lies in deepening ocean literacy. If students are already shifting community behaviours despite the constraints they face, then equipping them further (through curriculum, through voice, through advocacy) transcends educational goals and becomes an effective climate strategy for sustainable ocean interaction and use.

Hence, I would love to see further research conducted with students as the study population, to gain deeper insight into their ideas and visions for shaping their future environments.”
