As an educational institution with a long history, we have had to educate in challenging historical moments for various reasons. But perhaps today, more than ever, our times challenge us to realign our purpose with the commitment to building a better future for future generations. In a scenario of unprecedented climate crisis, we recognize ourselves as especially responsible in the task of offering our students the conceptual and socio-affective tools, along with the values necessary to face these challenges.
Therefore, although we have been carrying out various specific initiatives in different sectors for several years, 2022 has marked an unprecedented milestone on our path towards sustainability.
This milestone is materialized in our pledge, a Commitment to Education for Sustainability that we share with the entire Comunidad Ampliada San Andrés.
With the support of the UNESCO - Education for Sustainability and Global Citizenship at the University of San Andrés, we are trained to value and coordinate pre-existing initiatives and design new ones, aligning them more efficiently in our organizational life with a jointly constructed vision about why we embark on this path.
A careful reading of the commitments expressed in our pledge reveals these dimensions, realizing that we understand that they are closely interrelated and that we need to continue working on that interdependence.
We celebrate the momentum achieved by the different levels of SASS leadership, which provided their support through strategic management highly committed to this process of mainstreaming of sustainability in our beloved school.
They are:
Teaching and learning
Sustainable management of support areas
Ellas son:
The mobilization of the participation of all actors
The strategic management of the entire organization
We know that this path that has been underway for some time is actually just beginning, and that learning is what gives meaning to our great common task of educating.
A task for which we are moved by the desire “for ours to be a time that is remembered for the awakening of a new reverence for life; for the firm resolve to achieve sustainability; for the acceleration in the fight for justice and peace and for the joyful celebration of life.”
(Earth Charter)
SASS embarks on a journey
towards sustainability because...
We are aware of the importance of caring for the bonds among people, the environment and the world we live in, both in the present time and for the future.
We acknowledge our responsibility as a learning community to act as agents of change, educating citizens who commit to social and environmental well-being throughout their whole lives.
We value our history, our place and the transformational impact that we have as a school.
We pledge to:
