The concept
DAR2015
• Everything must be done in order to reunite these two artificially antagonistic cultures –scientific culture and literary for a new transdisciplinary culture, the preliminary condition for a transformation of mentalities.
B Nicolsecu (1997)The Transdisciplinary Evolution of the University:
Instilling complex and transdisciplinary thought into the structures and programs of the University will permit its evolution towards its somewhat forgotten mission today – the study of the universal.

Post-2014 ESD
The GAP has two objectives:
1. to reorient education and learning so that everyone has the opportunity
to acquire the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that empower them
to contribute to sustainable development – and make a difference;
2. to strengthen education and learning in all agendas, programmes and
activities that promote sustainable development (as part of social
innovation).
