Integral Sustainability and Learning

Summary/Abstract: This article is a contribution to reflecting on the relationship among integral sustainability as criterion/goal and sustainable development as a project/process, as well as the process of education (about social values) and learning (knowledge). The author draws on the viewpoint that the process of sustainable development is inherently a process of learning through which one can, if one chooses to, learn to build capacities and capabilities with the aim of living in a more sustainable way. In the first chapter a preliminary analysis of the topic's context is offered on two levels: the level of Croatia, and planetary level. In the second chapter a short discussion is reported, definitions of basic concepts given and axiological origins considered. In the third chapter of the article an overview of general and specific contents of education and learning is given. A proposition of a general curriculum is presented in ten topical "clusters". Without nourishing and learning these general contents and topics, and within them implied values, it is hard to develop an understanding of integral sustainability and sustainable development. Special contents of the curriculum, directly concerning Croatia, are initially presented in a model of three thematic "circles" derived from the analysis of natural resources and environmental specifics of Croatia. These are the following circles: a. "water-soil-food-(environmental) agriculture"; b. "ambiental resources-Karst-biological diversity-development / "environmentalisation" of tourism";
