Abstract

Institutions and companies represent a necessary way to access the training of the adult working population, the group with the greatest capacity for decision-making and immediate action in the face of the challenge of sustainability. Based on this argument, this study describes and reflects on the design, development and evaluation of a pilot training program in Environmental Education aimed at working adults. The training was carried out in a private company in Córdoba (Spain) in four sessions and was based on systemic and transformative environmental education, as it is a more comprehensive and holistic perspective when addressing ecosocial problems and alternatives and promoting substantial changes. The results show that the intervention had a positive influence on sustainability awareness and, particularly, the behaviour of the learners. Furthermore, the latter incorporated new approaches to confront the environmental crisis.
