The topic of sustainability is today at the centre of a debate that is gradually being articulated and enriched, highlighting its complexity and emphasising the need for a holistic and ecosystem approach (Bhattacharjee & Debnath, 2022; Hinzen & Schmitt 2016; Leicht, Heiss & Byun, 2018; Lundvall & Fröberg, 2022; Malavasi, 2020; Stein et alii, 2022).

Sustainability is not a purely environmental issue. The 2030 Agenda introduces targeted pathways in which schools become the place that can support the work of young people towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (Ministry of Education). At the heart of Goal 4 is quality education as the basis for improving people's lives and achieving sustainable development. This contribution reports the results of the SWOT analysis of good educational practices on the subject of environmental education carried out in the Sicilian territory from 2000 to the present. The SWOT analysis is part of a broader process of elaboration and validation of new innovative and sustainable educational practices in line with the 2030 Agenda, capable of creating a bridge of sharing with neighbouring countries, and Tunisia in particular, in order to make the Mediterranean a sustainable resource.

Il tema della sostenibilità è oggi al centro di un dibattito che si va progressivamente articolando e arricchendo, mettendone in luce la complessità e sottolineando la necessità di un approccio olistico ed ecosistemico (Bhattacharjee & Debnath, 2022; Hinzen & Schmitt 2016; Leicht, Heiss & Byun, 2018; Lundvall & Fröberg, 2022; Malavasi, 2020; Stein et alii, 2022). L’Agenda 2030, firmata da tutti i Paesi dell’ONU nel 2015, impegna governi, comunità educanti e singoli verso un nuovo modello di sviluppo sostenibile, capace di ristabilire un equilibrio tra i diversi sistemi prima che si arrivi ad un punto di non ritorno. La sostenibilità non è una questione puramente ambientale. Con l’agenda 2030 si introducono percorsi mirati in cui la scuola diviene il luogo che può sostenere il lavoro dei giovani verso i 17 Obiettivi di Sviluppo Sostenibile (Ministero dell’istruzione). Al centro dell’Obiettivo 4 vi è, infatti, un’istruzione di qualità quale base per migliorare la vita delle persone e raggiungere lo sviluppo sostenibile. Nel presente contributo si riportano i risultati dell’analisi SWOT di buone pratiche educative sul tema dell’educazione ambientale svolte nel territorio siciliano dal 2000 ad oggi. L’analisi SWOT si inserisce in un processo più ampio di elaborazione e validazione di nuove pratiche didattiche innovative e sostenibili in linea con l’Agenda 2030, capaci di poter creare un ponte di condivisione con i paesi limitrofi, e in particolare con la Tunisia, allo scopo di rendere il Mediterraneo una risorsa sostenibile. I dati emersi dall’analisi hanno consentito di individuare punti di forza e criticità relativi alle pratiche dell’educazione ambientale. Su questo aspetto, nello specifico, si vuole evidenziare ciò che è stato già raggiunto in questi anni e su cosa bisogna ancora lavorare per poter raggiungere gli obiettivi 4 Istruzione di qualità, 11 Città e comunità sostenibili, 13 Lotta contro il cambiamento climatico; 14 Vita sott’acqua e 15 Vita sulla terra, che l’Agenda 2030 propone.

Abstract
The topic of sustainability is today at the centre of a debate that is gradually being articulated and enriched, highlighting its complexity and emphasising the need for a holistic and ecosystem approach (Bhattacharjee & Debnath, 2022; Hinzen & Schmitt 2016; Leicht, Heiss & Byun, 2018; Lundvall & Fröberg, 2022; Malavasi, 2020; Stein et alii, 2022). The 2030 Agenda, signed by all UN countries in 2015, commits governments, educational communities and individuals towards a new model of sustainable development, capable of re-establishing a balance between different systems before a point of no return is reached. Sustainability is not a purely environmental issue. The 2030 Agenda introduces targeted pathways in which schools become the place that can support the work of young people towards the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (Ministry of Education). At the heart of Goal 4 is quality education as the basis for improving people's lives and achieving sustainable development. This contribution reports the results of the SWOT analysis of good educational practices on the subject of environmental education carried out in the Sicilian territory from 2000 to the present. The SWOT analysis is part of a broader process of elaboration and validation of new innovative and sustainable educational practices in line with the 2030 Agenda, capable of creating a bridge of sharing with neighbouring countries, and Tunisia in particular, in order to make the Mediterranean a sustainable resource. The data that emerged from the analysis made it possible to identify strengths and weaknesses in environmental education practices. On this aspect, specifically, we want to highlight what has already been achieved in recent years and what still needs to be worked on in order to achieve goals 4 Quality Education, 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities, 13 Fighting Climate Change; 14 Life Under Water and 15 Life on Earth, which the 2030 Agenda proposes.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
