Focusing on significant issues affecting young people in educational contexts, and using an inclusivity lens, Educating Young People for a Sustainable Future delves into causes, consequences and proposed interventions of inequalities and exclusions. How can education contribute to securing a more socially just future and a more sustainable world? Adopting a broad, complex understanding of sustainability, chapters cohere around the key concepts underpinning the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations – those of inclusivity, combating inequality and promoting resilience and sustainability. The collection showcases cutting-edge research considering disadvantages, challenges, opportunities and strategies for educating young people from early years to adulthood, and for those who work with, and care for, them. Under a social justice lens, the chapters cover topics such as institutional racism and strategies to effectively challenge this, issues of disability and adaptive teaching and learning strategies for teachers and students, the problem of monolingualism for inclusive learning, the promotion of health and the challenge to promote learner wellbeing by understanding the causes of ‘illbeing’, and more. Considering young people of all ages – both within and outside the context of formal education and the transition from formal education into the workplace - the authors collectively demonstrate that educational institutions, practices and practitioners are key to realising more equitable outcomes and inclusive experiences for young people. Providing insight on a variety of methods, from surveys, interviews and policy analysis to visual and creative methods, participatory action research and co-creation, this content is relevant for a variety of disciplines in social sciences and humanities.
