Sustainability and Awareness in Education Through the Eyes of Generation Z

In the framework of this study, we have analysed Generation Z's perception of the role and importance of awareness and its role in education in the light of the results of secondary and quantitative primary research. For Generation Z, which has lost its social network, the opportunity to experience education and to feel a sense of belonging is also important. In many cases, they are looking for self-discovery, self-development, self-awareness, support and guidance. They also lack a clear understanding of conscious behaviour, which could be developed in the educational arena, taking into account generational specificities. In terms of education, young people clearly emphasised that practical aspects and empirical experience would be an important aspect for them, as well as the need for more interactivity in the teaching methodology.
