Teaching sustainability and active citizenship refers to the educational approach of promoting sustainable development and active participation in society. Sustainability education aims to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and values necessary to address environmental, social, and economic challenges and to create a more sustainable future. This includes understanding the interconnectedness of natural systems, the impact of human activities on the environment, and the importance of responsible consumption and production.
Active citizenship education, on the other hand, focuses on empowering individuals to participate actively in their communities and to engage in democratic processes. This includes developing critical thinking skills, understanding the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, and learning how to take action on issues that matter to them.
Together, teaching sustainability and active citizenship can help students become responsible and engaged members of society, capable of making informed decisions and taking action to create a better future for themselves and their communities.
