Good morning

I think European adults already have an idea that they have to change their behaviour to save the planet. But the system we live in makes change difficult. For example, decades ago everyone cooked at home, but the new generations only buy processed food. They don't even know how to cook any more because they never had time to learn. How can adult education contribute to shift the system?

How do digital and sustainability mindsets intersect with issues of social justice and equity in educational contexts?

Compost can be considered both a material and an environment in which the distinctions between different elements are diminished. Additionally, it can be viewed as a conduit for processes that elucidate the interconnectedness of phenomena. This approach may be seen as an ideal lens through which to examine the social, academic, and political landscape of the present and, more importantly, of the future?

Is there a feedback loop between imagining the future and creating it?

EPALE kopienas konferences pēdējā diena bija veltīta pieaugušo izglītības iespējām un to ilgtspējīgai attīstībai, īpaši izceļot izglītotāju un izglītojamo lomu vides un sociālās ilgtspējas jomā. 

Pārdomājot šo tēmu, svarīgi pievērst uzmanību tam, ka pieaugušo izglītībai ir būtiska nozīme, lai virzītu pozitīvas pārmaiņas sabiedrībā. Kā rāda prakse un pētījumi, apmācības, kas veicina ilgtspējīgu domāšanu, palīdz ne tikai indivīdu attīstībai, bet arī sabiedrībai kopumā.

Personīgā pieredze, piedaloties šādās izglītības programmās, pierāda, ka tās sniedz iespējas izprast globālos izaicinājumus un veidot ilgtspējīgus risinājumus lokālā līmenī. Secinājums ir skaidrs – pieaugušo izglītība ir ne tikai iespēja personīgai izaugsmei, bet arī svarīgs instruments ilgtspējīgas nākotnes veidošanā, kur izglītība kalpo par pamatu gan vides, gan sociālajām pārmaiņām.
