Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Education for sustainable development aims to offer answers to society by providing the knowledge, competences, values, and attitudes necessary to favour an ethical global development with the environment, the economy and, in this way, to achieve a fairer and more inclusive society.
Education for sustainable development therefore encompasses cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral dimensions of learning, pedagogy, and learning environments in a holistic and transformative way.
At the global level, four basic objectives are pursued: first of all, to employ interactive pedagogy through active, learner-centred methodologies; secondly, to integrate sustainability issues related to the Sustainable Development Goals; thirdly, to empower people to take responsibility for present and future generations by actively contributing to societal transformation; and finally, to enable the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals towards building a more socially just world.
This Special Issue aims to address the commitments and challenges in the field of education for sustainable development. We believe that this Special Issue is timely for education because of the potential of the topic, as it covers an important area, quality education, highlighted by the SDGs of the UN’s 2020–2030 agenda and the post-pandemic context. Because of this, we expect to receive a significant number of manuscripts. As this is a topic of particular relevance in the field of education, we hope that this Special Issue will set a precedent and serve as a reference on the topic of today’s sustainable education challenges.
