Affective Sustainability. The Creation and Transmission of Affect through an Educative Process: An Instrument for the Construction of more Sustainable Citizens
Although for many years the debate on sustainability has focused on the generation of
critical thinking based on the dynamic balance between the economic, social and environmental
spheres, in the following text we propose to elaborate on the use of a eminently human condition,
such as the capacity to love and create an emotional attachment, whether with our environment or
our fellow men, as an initiator and main force for change to the building a more sustainable model
of development. To do so we shall begin from the concept coined by Adriana Bisquert in the 90s,
that is A ective sustainability, by analyzing it, delving into its possible definitions by means of the
development of the project for Environmental Education and Development called âEducating for a
more sustainable citizenshipâ undertaken by the Spanish NGO (non-governmental organization) or
ITACA Ambiente Elegido, and developed in the locality of Paterna de Rivera, CĂĄdiz (Spain). This is a
practical and real example, which is used to establish a work educational methodology that enables
us to consider this concept as the real basis for an exportable and replicable work in a painstaking
search for the creation of a more sustainable city
The implementation of storytelling in the native Language to promote L2 vocabulary in older adults
Este proyecto de aula presenta la implementaciĂłn de la tĂ©cnica de narraciĂłn de cuentos utilizando mitos y leyendas colombianos para enseñar vocabulario en inglĂ©s a adultos mayores. Para este proyecto, establecimos algunos objetivos de enseñanza que se dividieron en dos; objetivos generales en los que los adultos mayores reconocen el vocabulario establecidos a travĂ©s de la producciĂłn verbal y no verbal. TambiĂ©n los objetivos especĂficos, por ejemplo, la implementaciĂłn de la narraciĂłn de cuentos como un medio para promover el vocabulario en inglĂ©s. La metodologĂa utilizada en este proyecto de aula se centrĂł en la andragogĂa, que es la ciencia de la educaciĂłn de adultos, en base a esto enseñamos vocabulario en inglĂ©s utilizando mitos y leyendas colombianas. Los participantes involucrados fueron siete adultos mayores de una casa de retiro en Pereira, y los tres facilitadores los cuales usaron como instrumentos diarios, observaciones y artefactos de los participantes recolectar evidencia y su posterior anĂĄlisis. Los resultados indicaron que los participantes pudieron recordar y utilizar el vocabulario presentado durante la sesiĂłn de narraciĂłn de mitos y leyendas. Como conclusiĂłn, este proyecto de aula revelĂł que el uso de mitos y leyendas para enseñar vocabulario en inglĂ©s es una tĂ©cnica favorable la cual permitiĂł a los participantes sentirse cĂłmodos y usar sus conocimientos previos en su idioma nativo con el propĂłsito de aprender vocabulario en inglĂ©s

Aging in the Social Space
A publication called Aging in the Social Space is a compilation of studies, which deal with theoretical understanding and empirical solutions, learning about problem spheres, specifying content parallels of social, legal, economic, moral and ethical views on senior issues in society, which are closely related to each other and are interconnected. This publication focus on the case study of Poland. It is supposed to provide a multidimensional view of old age issues and issues related to aging and care for old people in society. We believe that it is natural also to name individual spheres, in which society has some eff ect, either direct or indirect, within issues concerning seniors. Learning about these spheres is the primary prerequisite for successful use of social help to seniors in society
