A pedagogical metaphor that sees modernity as a habit of being that is based on the foundation of separability (see below), supported by twin carrying walls of universal reason and nation state, sheltered by the roof of global capitalism.

Abstract
This chapter presents a selection of theoretical and pedagogical frameworks for global citizenship education (GCE) otherwise of the “Gesturing Towards Decolonial Futures” (GTDF) collective. The authors discuss the challenges of addressing the depth and complexity of existing global challenges, in particular as they relate to the questions of (un)sustainability and inherent systemic violence and injustices of modern societies. They begin by introducing the basic premises that guide the work of the GTDF collective and then proceed to map different (soft, critical, and beyond reform) approaches to GCE. The chapter also introduces the pedagogical metaphors/cartographies of the “House of Modernity,” the “Bus,” and the “In Earth's CARE” pedagogical framework and provides links and references to other pedagogical experiments, developed by the collective.
