ecojustice must take into account the way in which individuals and communities view
the purpose of schools and the reasons why a change is needed. It must also reinforce
the importance of understanding the place we come from and the ways it has shaped

egalitarianism prevail in any decisions made at the “Hope”ehagen summit.
