What does learning need to become if it is to meet the scale of the crises facing humanity?
That question, first posed by the Club of Rome in 1979, has never been more urgent. Constellations of Hope gathers those already answering it — not in theory, but in practice. Drawing on contributions from educators, practitioners, researchers, and community members across five continents, it documents what people are doing, what they are learning, and what is becoming possible. Together, their stories form not a roadmap but a constellation — scattered points of practice that, held in view together, begin to suggest a pattern.
The first publication in the No Limits to Hope initiative, this book treats hope not as reassurance but as a practice: a way of staying with the work when the scale of what is needed exceeds what any one of us could imagine alone.

“This book is a leap into the transformative future for the Club of Rome, moving beyond defining to tackling No Limits to Learning. It makes a strong case that dismantling the faulty foundations of our learning, teaching and research lifts us out of powerlessness into transformative agency. As a beneficiary of Paolo Freire’s Pedagogies of Hope, I recognise that same power in this book’s ability to tap into the silenced ancient wisdom of Africa. This is a must-read for anyone searching for a way out of despair into hope that better futures are in our hands.”
