Empowering and equipping learners to become critically and creatively engaged in creating a sustainable future is a main goal of sustainability-based education programmes (UNESCO 2012). Although the rhetoric of participation, agency, and empowerment is quite strong in the education for sustainable development policy arena, little has been done to engage learners. This chapter attempts to address this issue by introducing the EYE (Educating Yourself in Empowerment) for Sustainability learning tool, a heuristic aspiring to empower and to equip learners as change agents. Conceptually, this tool was inspired by established concepts within the fields of transformative learning, emancipatory education, and empowerment. In practise, the tool was developed using classroom experience gained while attempting to awaken personal engagement for sustainability in learners, in the context of higher education.
