Summary/Abstract: This article asserts the need for education in order to move towards integral ecology and studies the role that the family, the spirituality and the university can play in this formative task. The family has the primary right to educate and it is indeed the most important school. The spirituality «can motivate us to a more passionate concern for the protection of our world». The university must also play an important role, harmoniously integrating learning and social service, rather than reducing itself to a merely instrumental and transmitting function. Thus, a new relational paradigm will be possible, one that fosters family relationshipsand a holistic vision of reality. This urgent need has also been highlighted by the current Covid-19 pandemic.
