Towards Communities of Gratitude

In this chapter we return to Eastgates Primary School to meet with the teachers’ gratitude group for the final time that year. We explore how practising gratitude as a group had expanded their notion of gratitude and their sense of community. Our discussion leads on to how this might result in reciprocity from the community and wider society. I bring the themes of the book together as we postulate a way forward where acts of gratitude can move us to actively consider education as a ‘gift’.
