GreenComp and Migrant Students: Reflections on Training in Sustainability Competencies

Résumé

Pedagogical research is increasingly called upon to dialogue with European policies. Regarding to sustainable development, the European Commission is focussing on creating a framework for Life Skills-oriented Competencies. This is reflected in various documents, such as the Learning for the Green Transition and Sustainable Development and The GreenComp, which define the framework for integrating sustainability skills in schools. Starting out from an investigation entitled: Educating for a Circular and Inclusive Economy: Pedagogical and Guidance courses for Migrant and Non-Migrant Adolescents, the contribution aims to promote training in sustainability skills for migrant and native students. The study, conducted in 2023 with 20 teachers from Provincial Centres for Adult Education and secondary schools, was conducted according to a phenomenological-hermeneutic research paradigm.
