Knowledge, self-perception and eco-sustainable behaviours. Inspiring actions in green learning

The study aims to examine the level of knowledge of sustainability understood in its triple dimension, economic, environmental and social, as well as investigate the gap between declared values and actual actions in the sustainable behaviour of students. This is addressed through an investigation into the individual perception of environmental responsibility and the actual adoption of sustainable behaviours, in order to evaluate to what extent the students, participating in a series of seminars on sustainability, internalize and translate the principles learned into concrete actions. In line with thought of Hadjichambi and Paraskeva-Hadjichambis (2020) on the importance of sustainability education, the study focuses on the implementation of a training approach that emphasizes active and contextualized learning. The proposed series of seminars incorporates elements of investigation, planning, action, evaluation and reflection, with the aim of informing and making students more aware. The survey method involves administering a questionnaire to a sample of students before, during and after the series of seminars on CSR and individual environmental responsibility. In future, it is planned to conduct a survey in Italy and other European countries in order to carry out a cross-cultural comparison.
