Abstract
Preventing the galloping advance of dystopian societies is not an easy task, and even less so when the health crisis produced by COVID-19 has led to the presentation of new forms of control. The constant search for a possible truth is generated from the hereditary debate that our ancestors formulated, regarding the search for a method1 as a logical engine for a clear understanding of the environment. Thus, from the common good, sustainability has become in current times a constant exchange between nature and man (Taylor, 2014). As a result of this, increasingly inclusive policies have been generated, in order "to meet their needs while respecting the natural environment and without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs" (Gaceta, 2005, p. 19). In addition to these aspects, an important one was the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro (1992) that "represented a turning point in the recognition of the role of education, and in particular university education, to contribute to the solution of global problems that affect us in addition to moving towards sustainable development" (Vilches & Pérez, 2012, p. 27). In this summit, educators at all levels and from different disciplines were invited to generate a different worldview for citizens to see the problems and challenges that would arise if habits were not changed (Vilches & Pérez, 2012).
