Minerals, whether critical, rare or not, have become essential for energy security despite the fact that they are as finite as the fossil fuels we are trying to phase out of existence. Mining has always been on the environmental agenda trying to balance human and environmental rights with the transition to green energy.

But as the race for minerals has escalated over the last few years and mining companies and governments are overriding many environmental, employment and human rights legislation and is based on the violence, exploitation and extraction. As educators, we often link the products, services and systems we use to places around the globe; linking our own lives, technology, renewable energy.

In this online seminar, we will be critically questioning the local and global contexts of mining for critical minerals. It is essential that we explore with our learners what lies beneath! 

Deadline for registration is Tuesday, 14 April
