VIEIRA, Ricardo; VIEIRA, Ana Maria  e  MARQUES, José Carlos. Education for sustainability: between school life and the school of life. Sér.-Estud. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.57, pp.5-23.  Epub 18-Out-2021. ISSN 2318-1982.  https://doi.org/10.20435/serie-estudos.v26i57.1555.

In this text, we present some data from an ongoing investigation whose main objective is to understand the perceptions and practices that people of various age groups have regarding sustainability issues. We initially developed a theoretical approach to sustainability within the scope of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (CONSELHO EMPRESARIAL PARA O DESENVOLVIMENTO SUSTENTÁVEL [BCSD], 2021). In empirical terms, we interviewed four subjects with the following ages: 15, 22, 61, and 70 years old. After the transcription of the interviews, we made a comparative analysis of the voices captured regarding the importance they attach to sustainability practices. Thus, we try to understand how the age and the socio-cultural context of these people influence their practices and perceptions about the theme of sustainability.
