The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

El diseño de un programa formativo a nivel de posgrado es una tarea en la que intervienen múltiples factores, elementos y actores. Convergen sinfín de teorías y enfoques, como concepciones antropológicas, sociales, históricas, filosóficas, económicas y tecnológicas existen. La propuesta no es analizar o fundamentar la complejidad del currículo sino que eso merece que sistematicemos una forma de trabajo que nos permita recorrer esta tarea con la mayor seguridad y provecho posibles. Esto no significa otra cosa que hacernos eco del lema de calidad: "hacer las cosas bien, de primera vez". Se trata, por lo tanto, de establecer una metodología con la cual los equipos conformados por los pedagogos, los especialistas, los gestores de la educación, los profesores, los técnicos, los acreditadores y la sociedad en general, puedan intervenir con su aporte, en el momento adecuado y con el dato preciso, tal como harían los músicos en una orquesta, para arribar a una carrera de posgrado con la mayor calidad posible.
