This book contains the full papers arising from presentations by delegates from Denmark, Greenland, Ireland, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

The Congress asked the question about rhetoric or reality for a fairer world through collaborative and sustainable learning.

These presentations and papers also indicate that the practitioners involved in their delivery are working.
