The concept is proposed to challenge the empiric education model. The empiric education model separates the learners from the exploring process and only send them the outcome, making learner hard to be innovative. As ESD industry needs innovative ideas to develop and grow, it is important to bring the learning journey of ESD into context and allow individuals to think independently. Therefore, my concept is using space to provoke an action-based learning journey which allow participants to construct their own understanding of ESD in learning actions and embark on their researches of ESD principles during their course. The new OEP building will be an active learning lab, a showcase of ESD, a teaching tool, and the identity of unimelb OEP faculty. Finally, I hope this project could inspire more people to act for sustainability as “actions” should never stop.
