Abstract

Never before as in recent years has the study of pedagogy been oriented toward the analysis, exploration and definition of tools and methodologies capable of building alliances between “possible” intercamps (family, school, Third Sector), people who inhabit intercamps, knowledge, and different cultures, in the direction of defining an expanded educational ecosystem as a substantive part of educating communities. The paper aims to provide the reader with some critical insights through the analysis of some “formative imperatives” that constitute the focus of a new pedagogical approach, namely that of habitability: (1) the importance of civic engagement (Golubeva, 2018; White and Mistry, 2019); (2) education for sustainable development (UN, 2015); and (3) the capability approach (Nussbaum, 2012; Sen, 2001).
