What curriculum(s) for the Sustainable Development Goals?" symposium
Montpellier, April 5-6, 2018.
At a time when education systems, both formal and non-formal, are mobilizing for the release of UNESCO's new "Education 2030" roadmap centered on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), it's vital that we also mobilize as a community of educational researchers. The seventeen goals defined by the United Nations cover the whole range of what is known in the French-speaking community as "educations à". The educational implementation of these 17 objectives is in itself a major challenge for the world of education: is it a question of creating ex novo as many new paths or systems? Is it a matter of integrating these objectives into existing curricula? Is it a question of recomposing curricula around the SDGs? Is it a new educational utopia, a heterotopia (in Durkheim's sense) or a neoliberal normalizing goal? How can they be applied to different geopolitical and cultural spheres, in the North and South? This colloquium aims to debate these questions from a critical and scientific perspective.
