This course acts as an introduction to the philosophical foundations of eco-pedagogy and critical pedagogy, which respond to the current developments of society on the local and global scale. These disciplines use the latest findings in the social sciences and humanities and seek to interconnect them. Their main goal is to prepare pupils and students for a life in the contemporary world by teaching them to understand the mechanisms of power, the problems that the ecological crisis is bringing, and the basics of critical thinking. The philosophical starting points of these directions are the critical theory of society (in a broader definition) and postcolonialism. In this course, emphasis is placed on the philosophical basis of the most important aspects of eco-pedagogy and critical pedagogy, as well as on the content, goal, structure and methods used in these disciplines.
