The Earth Charter ’ s Integrated Ethical Approach to Learning to Live Together
نویسنده
چکیده
The Earth Charter, the product of a worldwide, decade long, cross-cultural dialogue on common goals and shared values, is a vision and declaration of fundamental ethical principles for building a just, sustainable and peaceful global society in the 21st century. This paper presents the instructional/learning design of a course entitled “Teaching to Live Together Sustainably through the Earth Charter”. This course is part of a curriculum of an international joint Master degree programme that aims to promote the transition to sustainable ways of living. The whole programme aims to a global society founded on a shared ethical framework that includes respect and care for the community of life, ecological integrity, universal human rights, respect for diversity, economic justice, democracy and a culture of peace. The course design on “Learning to Live Together Sustainably” has been developed for use on a global level and yet flexible enough to be interpreted within different cultural and social contexts. It looks at underlying values of education for sustainable development and need to reorient education systems, policies and practices in order to empower people in learning to live together sustainably.
