Forms of Education and Formation of the Youth in Ecologically Conscious Technologies and Their Role in Development and Peace Building Processes in Africa

Abstract

Every child has the potential to be a genius in any dimension of life. However, the educational system can either inflame this potential or stifle it. With respect to eco-friendly technologies, sustainable development, and peacebuilding, what forms of education and formation of the youth will be most appropriate? The intrinsic connection between ecology, sustainable development, and peace building suggests forms of education and formation that are based on an understanding of the technological process and youth cognitional aptitude. Thus, ecologically conscious technologies and sustainable development are grounded on ecologically conscious forms of education and peace formation. The appropriate forms of education for ecologically conscious technologies are those that inflame the genius in the child to become ecologically conscious in innovation, invention, consumption, and preservation of technologies for sustainable development and peace.
