Environmental Education and Sustainability

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Given the complexity of social, territorial, and environmental problems, the aim is to promote critical thinking based on a transdisciplinary approach and the crossing of various fields of knowledge. This course also aims to provide students with contact and the development of joint actions with different institutions and other public and private bodies, given the importance of organizing institutions' networks and gaining advantages from the relationships and experiences brought together. The aim is to broaden the understanding of the complexity of the place children occupy in contemporary territory: environment, territory, and society. Through education, the UC aims to direct society, insofar as it can direct social life, as a mediating body, serving as a means of realizing a more open and sustainable conception of society.
