Abstract

This chapter focuses on the area of education for sustainable development (henceforth, ESD) and presents an overview on the design and initial development of a funded research project called ©ESDIGITHAL, an international network on education. One of the aims of this project is to create a conceptual reference framework to explore the use of technology enhanced content and language integrated teaching and learning as a methodological approach for ESD. The chapter discusses some of the main field challenges identified by UNESCO and explores the use of applied technology, transmedia, and digital storytelling to examine their impact in bilingual education and in cross-cultural multilingual settings. With an emphasis on creativity, critical thinking, and innovation, this network is committed to enrich the quality of higher education and teacher training to guarantee citizens' social, economic, and cultural development.
