Sustainability: call for papers

15 June 2012/0 Comments/in News/by WEEC Network

“Culture della sostenibilità” (“Cultures of Sustainability”) is the scientific six-monthly journal that originated in Italy in 2007 and is open to the world to encourage trans-disciplinary and trans-cultural debates to discuss the themes of sustainability. The plural of the title (“Cultures”) is, in fact, important. The papers are accepted also in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, in addition to Italian.

The focus is especially on the new emerging social practices and on the role of education in changing the model of production, consumption and lifestyle. What are the most effective approaches? What changes are ongoing to pave the way for a more “green” and a more sustainable future, or rather for a more just and human society that can ensure all human beings quality of life within the planetary boundaries. The subject of the papers must regard research, case studies, experiences and reflections on sustainability, with particular attention to the interactions between society and environment, innovative social practices and / or the role of formal, non formal and informal education.
