L’EDD, Education au développement durable sera sans aucun doute possible la grande affaire de cette année et sans plus certainement. J’effectue des recherches sur la question et trouve ces éléments de définition :

• Envisioning – being able to imagine a better future. The premise is that if we know where we want to go, we will be better able to work out how to get there.
• Critical thinking and reflection – learning to question our current belief systems and to recognize the assumptions underlying our knowledge, perspective and opinions. Critical thinking skills help people learn to examine economic, environmental, social and cultural structures in the context of sustainable development.
• Systemic thinking – acknowledging complexities and looking for links and synergies when trying to find solutions to problems.
• Building partnerships – promoting dialogue and negotiation, learning to work together.
• Participation in decision-making – empowering people.

Pour ma part, je trouve ces indications tout à fait structurante. Et vous ?
