We present a theoretical essay articulating the knowledge of researchers who discuss the demands of the contemporary context linked to the area of Education. We ask ourselves a few questions: what knowledge is needed to deal with our current problems, in a social context in which we are redefining the human person and their role in relation to the planet and the other humans? In the face of climate and environmental emergencies, how should we think about humans and their education? How can digital technologies be included in this scenario? We consider knowledge in movement, with a view to bringing out principles for rethinking educational action and the teacher formation, which is one of the pillars for transformations. We offer clues, possibilities and paths for educational actions in teaching in Higher Education, anchored in mutual respect, solidarity and dialogue, where knowing emerges in peaceful and humanizing coexistence. We suggest that we need to transform ourselves into educators who transform. We highlight the urgent need to re-dimension our educational and training actions in order to create learning ecologies, with the potential for the construction of knowledge, based on educational practices that transform, in the experience of being together in partnership, and that promote human development in all its fullness. In order for this to happen, we need to review our beliefs and our ways of being on the human journey, and face the current social and environmental crisis that is affecting us together.
