Educating for good society
A series of pedagogical studies explores issues related to economy and civic life
A good education for a good society. An all-round civil life, attentive to humanity and nature, to regions and to responsible production. Also from the point of view of economy and production. The task of institutions and the duty of individuals. A duty of care that falls to everyone.
These were the questions that many researchers discussed at the 7th International Conference “Educazione Territori Natura. Utopia, impegno e cura per trasformare il futuro” (Education, Territories and Nature. Utopia, commitment and care to transform the future), whose findings were later collected in a one-volume issue of LLL Lifelong Lifewide Learning by the Siped Working Group, Pedagogy of the Environment and Sustainability of Wellbeing. Ecological Transition, Justice, Educational Resistance, written by Cristina Birbes, Giovanna Del Gobbo and Monica Par.
The collection of research provides an accurate overview of the state of the art of pedagogy and the educational tools to be used in the vast field of the relationship between society and the environment, and therefore of sustainability in terms of the well-being of individuals and organisations.
The research series is made up of three parts: in the first, the major themes of contemporary education and pedagogy are considered; in the second, those of the relationship between education, the environment and sustainability; and the third deals with some issues such as innovation, sustainability, SMEs and energy issues.
And it is precisely by looking closely at the aspects related to corporate culture and production that the research highlights how the company “should be considered as an emblematic environment for the promotion of responsible communities” and how “categories such as sustainability, impact, responsibility and integral human development should be central as founding values to encourage the involvement of all stakeholders and, at the same time, promote a continuous improvement of the organisational context itself”.
