International Scientific Workshop on Challenges of Sustainable Education
Event details
Description
Organised by the School Of Innovation of the University of Trento, this workshop is dedicated to exploring the crucial role of education in realizing the UN's 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. The Agenda emphasizes the need for educational institutions to renew their approaches to foster citizens' development and engage youth as key decision-makers in achieving goals like Climate Action (Goal 13). This entails adopting innovative teaching methods to promote scientific literacy while encouraging active participation in sustainability efforts. Combating climate misinformation through media engagement emerges as an urgent priority in sustainable education, representing a crucial frontier for immediate action while Climate psychology offers insights into motivating collective action and addressing barriers to behavioural change. Additionally, gender equality (Goal 5) in education is highlighted as essential for social sustainability, yet progress in this area remains inadequate. Finally, tackling educational poverty (Goal 4) is another critical aspect, with efforts needed to bridge disparities globally.
The workshop sessions are open to public participation, and educators from all levels of schooling are invited to attend.
The invaluable insights and research shared by participants at the conference will form an integral part of the Conference Proceedings Book, which will be edited by Casa Editrice Università degli Studi di Trento.
Selected contributions will also be considered for publication in expanded form, free of charge, on the joint special issue appearing on the journals Sustainability and Education Sciences edited by MDPI.
