Since that moment the essential objective of the politicians, of the cultural and national elites became, together with achieving the state independence, the establishment of the national state which comprises the Romanians who lived in provinces of the neighbouring empires: Transylvania 2 and Bukovina belonged to the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and Bessarabia, former province of Moldavia, had been incorporated into the Russian Empire in 1812. As in other states in Central and SouthEastern Europe, the discourse which prevailed in Romanian society especially towards the end of the 19 th century focused on achieving the 'national ideal', reduced to the phrase 'Great Romania'. This objective became an obsession for the political and cultural elite and would be used for political legitimation of some parties, but also became a source of inspiration for writers and poets. Until recently, the Romanian historiography built the exaggerated image of a true "national movement", which would have acted constantly and uniformly and would have gathered all political parties including political and cultural elites and organisations of Romanians from the neighbouring provinces around the quest for achieving the 'national ideal'. 3 The political discourse in Romania was justified also by the poor political, economic and cultural state of Romanians in Transylvania, Bukovina and Bessarabia. The Romanians in these provinces, although they were a majority demographically speaking, were not recognised as a fully fledged nationality and implicitly they did not enjoy the same rights as the dominant nations. Moreover, exactly because of the political system, the Romanians in these provinces had a backward social and

Education for sustainable development (ESD) emphasizes on including the key sustainable development issues into teaching and learning, that is, climate change, disaster risk reduction, biodiversity, poverty reduction, and sustainable consumption. This effort requires effective pedagogy to ensure a participatory teaching and learning method that will motivate and empower future leaders to ensure sustainability in their social systems. Malaysia has incorporated the principles of Agenda 21 as one of the important sustainable development documents into its national planning process. However, the effectiveness of these teaching–learning programs, and their effective pedagogical approaches and endpoints are not satisfactorily ensured. Therefore, at first, this article reviews the existing variou...
