Abstract:

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is a goal in itself, and at the same time, it is a tool for achieving the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Therefore, knowledge, skills, values and attitudes necessary to promote sustainable development are worked through ESD.

This new educational model based on use education for the SDGs achievement generates a challenge in education management because it is necessary to reorient curriculum, programs, practices, and policies. This challenge affects the governance of education, educational institutions managers and educators, as well as the content and pedagogy of education.

This paper shows the findings of the project carried out to apply education for sustainability into a university subject. The subject is called computer tools for communicator’s and it is teaching in the Advertising and Public Relations degree. The objective of this subject is to explain students the process of creating multimedia and hypermedia content using different computer tools.

The findings of the project are summarized in:
(1) the identification of the knowledge and engagement for sustainability in students,
(2) the re-design of the subject’s curriculum (contents, assessment, etc.) to integrate sustainability in education.

The work presented here could be taken as the basis for future analyses and similar improvements in other centers, taking into account the methodology followed in this work and the questionnaires carried out.
