Interfacing women participation and community environmental education: a step towards education for sustainable development

Abstract

The goal of the paper was to contribute to the education for sustainable development discourse by arguing that at the interface of community environmental education, an initiative subsumed under education for sustainable development and education for sustainable development lie women. A literal analysis of available literature was done through the framework of education for sustainable development to argue for the need to interface women participation with community environmental education. The paper also shows that akin to education for sustainable development frameworks are the processes of collaboration and dialogue, engagement of the whole system including the marginalized and silenced voices
