- Description
- As we begin to write this chapter, it is only a few hours since the news broke about the passing of Nelson Mandela, the founding president of a democratic South Africa. As we de-scribe our work in supporting intergenerational learning and the development of transformational leadership, it seems appro-priate to make this reference as a tribute to him. This work would not have been possible without the contribution of Man-dela and all who fought for justice and an egalitarian society in South Africa. We are able to write about the so-called ‘born frees’ because of Mandela’s role in dismantling apartheid, a system that sought to condemn black people to perpetual ser-vitude, ignorance and poverty. Indeed, our efforts in building skills for biodiversity, under the auspices of GreenMatter, are inspired by his courageous leadership, his selflessness, com-mitment to education and love of people, knowledge and na-ture. While philosophies, contexts and methods will vary, the quest of all intergenerational learning is to build a bridge that enables young people to learn from the experiences and wisdom of previous generations.
