- 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 chapter considers how engagement with decolonization history, theory and practice may provide an interesting future frame for Environmental and Sustainability Education (ESE). The chapter provides an overview of some of the key dynam-ics of decolonization thinking that are circulating at present, and considers particularly the problematique of absence and emergence. It argues for giving attention not only to critical analysis of colonization concerns (ie identification of absence), but also to expansive, emergent theories of learning which we might mobilise in environmental and sustainability education (ESE) out of our existing forms of being in order to re-imagine new becomings that are oriented to the common good (ie pro-cesses of emergence). In situating the argument within wider discourses around education and the common good, this chapter argues that decolonisation is a project that concerns us all (not only those in the global South), given the contempo-rary realities and geopolitics of resource flows, hypercapitalism, colonization by market logic, and the privatisation of the commons.
