Environmental education at school

The Course "7 saberes para la educación ambiental en la escuela" (7 lessons for environmental education at school) awakened great interest among audiences interested in environmental education, because of both its novel approach, linking Morin's complex lessons to environmental education, and the international standing of the speakers. As well as the potential students at whom it was aimed - people coordinating school Agenda 2030 projects - the course attracted people from the worlds of academia, business and environmental education consultancy, among others.

Worth highlighting is the theoretical jigsaw that was put together over all the sessions to give an overview of what environmental education of an ecosocial nature should be in schools. An ecosocial education that places life at the centre of educational discussion, that affects all areas of school, that recognises humans as ecodependent, interdependent beings and that, on the basis of these principles, is able to empower pupils to make them agents of social and ecological change.
