Learning Objectives
Themes
Sustainability skills are not yet a systemic element of policy and practice in member countries. In order to develop sustainability-oriented competences, it is necessary to promote skills and attitudes that are indispensable for thinking, planning and acting with empathy, responsibility and care for the planet and to promote sustainable utopia (Giovannini, 2018). To become competent, with reference to sustainability, means to promote responsible actions and to try to deal with far-reaching actions and, therefore, to know and act on them. To design courses aimed at developing sustainability competence, it is appropriate to use the technique of 'scenarios'. This technique identifies a set of methodological approaches aimed at constructing verisimilar stories about the future, making uncertainties and critical issues visible, and can be useful in supporting decision-making processes and facilitating the planning of priority elements and possible actions and interventions to be implemented (Bradfield et al., 2005). Through scenario analysis, it is possible to consider various possible alternatives for the future, highlighting their main uncertainties and variability, attempting to acquire knowledge on the possible values and meanings they may assume for the future without overburdening the planning process and focusing attention on each individual aspect or forecast of results. The scenario is a multi-disciplinary pathway that allows the issue to be considered through multiple perspectives and representing, at the same time, coherent, plausible, and logical forecasts of how the future might develop (Quist and Vergragt, 2006). In this sense, a particular and interesting planning strategy, frequently used in the field of sustainability, is backcasting. In other words, it involves imagining a desirable future and then backcasting to determine the steps to be taken and the actions to be taken to guide the transformation towards that future. The design of future scenarios inspired by sustainability makes it possible to identify strategies and related pathways, providing stakeholders (students, political stakeholders, citizens, ...) with images useful in forming opinions and decisions.
