• Resumen

  • The global pandemic caused by the Covid-19 virus and the measures taken to face it have upset the organization ofindividual and collective existence, with respect to time, spaces, relationships and habits that marked our daily life. Therefore,also schools and educational services are in the middle of a sudden change that has affected both education professionals(educators, teachers) and pupils. The pandemic situation has suddenly shown that it is necessary to orient educational and socialreflection to the links existing between spheres of existence usually considered as separate. The reference to adult education issignificant, because the tenets of dualist and anthropocentric thought appear more deeply rooted in adult subjects. Our proposalis to reassemble the human with the environment through a perspective we termed “Ecologies of Education”, that will bediscussed by the present paper.
