- Description: This chapter asks us to regenerate and re-imagine what a dis-tinctively young and contemporary feeling of Environmental and Sustainability Education could look like in the African con-text. It asks us to acknowledge the ingenious ways that Change Drivers in South Africa and Africa are moving towards their visions of the common good. The chapter invites us to trace and learn from the transgressive learning and nomadic journeys of young Change Drivers who are part of a network called Activate! Change Drivers. Activate! Change Drivers is one of the largest youth led movements in South Africa. It is a network of young leaders equipped to drive change for the common good in South Africa. In a world that is uncertain and unknown the embodied knowledge of Change Drivers in South Africa can help us as practitioners think carefully and critically about how to learn for an unknown and predominantly young future.

- Description: This literature review charts the cumulative lessons that have emerged from the participatory development discourse in its various guises over the past fifty years, relating them to current emerging perspectives on social learning. Acknowledging the tensions that occur when the theoreti-cally sound proponents of the participatory discourse are translated into practice, this review seeks to outline the practical and ethical implications of this terrain. It will do so with reference to three points in its evolution: the great influence of Participatory Development (popularly known through focuses such as Participatory Rural Appraisal), the effect of Hu-man Development and the Capabilities Approach, and lastly, the growing discourse on Social Learning and what its ideas contribute to the dis-course. As such the paper helps to ‘locate’ social learning discourse within the wider arena of participatory development, showing the antecedent links that exist between social learning discourse (as it is emerging today), and wider participatory development discourses. The paper argues that more attention needs to be given to the ‘hidden work’ involved in turning all of these theories of participatory development, learning and agency into practice, and that the discourses can only really live in practice, a process for which we can only partially be prepared for by our literature (re)views.
