Entre 15 e 17 de setembro de 2015 realizar-se-á a conferência ““Learning for Sustainable Futures – Making the Connections”, na Universidade de Oxford, em Inglaterra.
Esta conferência pretende ser uma reflexão sobre como deve ser o processo de aprendizagem para a construção de um mundo mais sustentável, centrado nas pessoas, mais justo, equitativo e inclusivo.
No site de apresentação pode ler-se:
«September 2015 will see international agreement on a set of global sustainable development goals which are likely to influence the future work of the education and international development community. The goals promote a vision of sustainable futures which are people-centred, just, equitable and inclusive, and which involve sustained and inclusive economic growth, social development and environmental protection that benefit the children, youth and future generations of the world.
The 2015 UKFIET International Conference on Education and Development invites you reflect on the implications of this vision for education and learning, and on the contribution that education and learning can make to the realisation of this vision. The Conference will adopt a broad approach to concepts of sustainability in relation to society, economy, environment and culture. What sustainable scenarios can we envision for the future? And what are the connections between them and education and learning?»
It is becoming evident that developing sustainable futures requires a less ‘siloed’, more holistic, approach to policy, planning and action. Stronger connections must be fostered between the various sectors and disciplinary traditions of education, and with other development sectors such as health, gender equality, food security, water and sanitation, industrialisation, energy and other areas from the proposed Sustainable Development Goals. Stronger intersectoral and interdisciplinary connections need to be forged within the international development research community.
Learning at all ages, whether it be formal, non-formal or informal, will play a vital role in the development of sustainable futures.»
