What the paper says

In the early 20th century, Woodcraft Folk pioneered an innovative approach to cultivating peace, co-operation, and global citizenship through experiential learning. As a progressive alternative that emphasized the nurturing of critical thinking, conflict resolution, and social-emotional skills, its participatory model enabled children to learn about the practical application of peace principles via co-operative games, outdoor adventures, and democratic decision-making. By analysing the organisation's pedagogical approach and its recent Peer Action Collective (PAC) initiative, this article explores how experiential, co-operative education can foster moral courage, critical consciousness, and social responsibility among young people through transformative experiences. The study highlights the potential of youth-led initiatives in catalysing both individual transformation and collective change, while also addressing challenges and implications for transformative learning theory and practice.
