Escuela ESC & Education: design in education for learning in transitions

How do we learn and teach amid complex societal change?
ESCuela: ESC & Education shares lessons from more than a decade of Systemic Co-Design (SCD) practice in classrooms, communities, and international collaborations. Blending reflection and practice shows how learning transforms when teachers become co-learners, students become partners, and education becomes a collective act of transformation. This book explores the tensions between SCD in learning practices and traditional educational systems. It highlights six themes essential for learning in transitions: systems awareness, time, respect, power, vulnerability, and connectedness.
ESCuela offers a way to create the conditions for meaningful and transformative learning. It invites educators, students, designers, and changemakers to rethink how we learn together to shape a more just and sustainable futures.
ESCuela: ESC & Education is the third volume in a trilogy. This series reflects on four years (2022–2025) of collective learning within ESC. Together, the three parts offer a layered perspective on the application and evolution of Systemic Co-Design.
