Abstract

The necessity of Education for Sustainable Society and Development (ESD) is caused by the escalation of the environmental and human situation in the world. Its aims to develop students‘ knowledge, competences and skills necessary for sustainable development, many of which have a close relationship to citizenship education and are essential to promote the integration of basic components of sustainable development - economic development, social development, cultural diversity protection and environmental protection - at every level (at local, national, regional and global levels), particularly at the level of communities. Socially sustainable communities are equitable, diverse, connected and democratic and provide a good quality of life. From the Critical Pedagogy perspective the author discusses the ways how to implement praxis-oriented educational approach into classroom activities. The choice is focused on dilemma-solving method as a tool that enables young people to learn about rights and responsibilities, to involve them in local community acting and so to practise their rights and responsibility. Responsibility is reflected as social competence involving 1) awareness of own action for self, others, locality, global community, 2) skills of bearing consequences and 3) attitudes to be responsible citizen – readiness for taking responsibility. The example of good practice is presented.
