L’innegabile evidenza delle gravi conseguenze a carico del nostro pianeta generate da un progresso legato esclusivamente alla crescita quantitativa e al profitto, ha aperto la strada a nuovi modelli di sviluppo centrati sul valore della sostenibilità. Tuttavia, la sostenibilità non nasce in maniera spontanea ma è il risultato di un processo di educazione attraverso il quale la persona prende coscienza delle interconnessioni che la legano, indissolubilmente, alla natura, alla società, all’umanità stessa. Diventa importante, dunque, individuare ambiti formativi promettenti per promuovere efficaci azioni educative riguardo alla sostenibilità, con l’obiettivo di orientare i giovani all’acquisizione di stili di vita adeguati e di posti di lavoro dignitosi, creativi, “verdi”. Tra questi, l’alternanza scuola-lavoro e i percorsi per le competenze trasversali e per l’orientamento, previsti in Italia per tutti gli studenti dell’ultimo triennio delle scuole secondarie di secondo grado, possono rappresentare fruttuose opportunità educative per acquisire, attraverso modalità di apprendimento attivo, strumenti idonei a fronteggiare l’evoluzione dei processi formativi e delle dinamiche professionali, nonché l’esercizio di una cittadinanza responsabile e competente in favore di uno sviluppo equo e durevole a vantaggio delle generazioni presenti e future.

Abstract
The undeniable truth of the serious consequences inflicted to our planet by a progress that is exclusively linked to quantitative growth and profit has paved the way for new development models based on the value of sustainability. However, sustainability is rarely spontaneously achieve: it is the result of an educational process through which individuals becomes aware of the interconnections that bind them to nature, to society and to humanity itself. It is relevant, therefore, to identify promising training environments to promote effective educational activities on sustainability, with the goal of nudging young people towards adequate lifestyles, creating dignified, creative and “green” jobs. Among these potentially relevant educational and training environments, work-related learning (Alternanza scuola-lavoro in Italian) and the paths for transversal skills and guidance (Percorsi per le competenze trasversali e per l’orientamento in Italian), provided in Italy for all students in the last three years of secondary schools, can represent successful educational opportunities to acquire, through active learning models, the tools needed to face the evolution of the educational processes and work- related dynamics, as well as to construct a responsible and competent citizenship, favoring a fair and lasting development for the benefit of current and future generations.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
