Life-based learning emphasises the importance of learning about human interaction.
As John Donne said way back in 1624: “No man is an island”. Crucial to human life and living is the ability to relate to — and interact positively with — others.
Three aspects of Society
Society has three aspects, each referred to as a ‘theme’ in the MAC life-based learning framework.
- Communication
- Relationships
- Community
The interdependence of the three themes is of crucial importance
The underlying concept is the progression from communication to relationships to community: effective communication leads to healthy relationships; healthy relationships enable community participation.
