| Title:CURRICULUM CO-CREATION IN EDUCATING CITIES: PATHWAYS TO MEANINGFUL LEARNING, SUSTAINABILITY, AND INCLUSIVE SOCIETIES |
| Abstract:This article proposes an analysis of the concept of Educating Cities, exploring both formal and nonformal spheres of education and their essential role in the co-creation of curricula and practices within and beyond school contexts. The investigation centers on the pursuit of building sustainable societies through education, emphasizing the potential of cities as conducive environments for the implementation of innovative educational strategies. In this regard, the article examines how the cocreation of curricula and practices contributes to social sustainability, considering the diversity of urban contexts, its citizens and the school stakeholders? Methodologically, the corpus of analysis was constructed through content analysis. The findings reveal that cities provide a rich and diverse context for implementing such innovative strategies. The results suggest that Educating Cities play a fundamental role in promoting sustainable societies, specifically, through the co-creation of curricula and educational practices. The integration of formal and non-formal educational spheres, both within and beyond the school environment, emerges as an effective strategy to address contemporary challenges and prepare citizens for active participation in community life. |
