This open access book explores the potential of transdisciplinary, art-science approaches in addressing current social-ecological complexities within educational contexts. Moving beyond disciplinary perspectives this book integrates holistic, transdisciplinary approaches and creates spaces for imagining and co-creating just, liveable, healthy futures. As we face the urgent need for new ways of learning and engaging with nature, this volume emphasizes the importance of humans as integral parts of living systems. By fostering a regenerative and holistic perspective while improving wellbeing for humans and non-humans, the book offers tools and methods that invite learners to reimagine their relationships with nature and with the future. It includes innovative approaches for community engagement, design, future visioning, experiential, embodied, and playful learning, providing a comprehensive resource for educators, community workers, policy makers, designers, scientists, architects, and urban planners. The book brings together creative, art-science approaches to advance transformative education in the field of sustainability science. Structured as a practical manual, it offers innovative methodologies with clear instructions for application in various learning environments. Offering tutorials for 65 creative methods developed by the 120 authors from all around the world, this book offers a transdisciplinary and transcontextual approach making it relevant to a wide audience.
