This manuscript aims to show the awareness that educational systems' end-users, the students, have in relation to the drawbacks and to the possible improvements of the systems themselves. Therefore, we investigated the opinions of the participants to a workshop named Re-learning to educate that we held during Borgofuturo 2017, a biannual event organized in one of the many depopulated Italian villages and meant to spur the debate on sustainability and societal transition. In addition, we complement our findings with a theoretical literature review. Issues related with three main elements of the education systems have been identified: content, methodology and structure. For instance, the former highlight the lack of

Whereas to face this unprecedented situation all the educational institutions were compelled to keep the lessons conducted over the internet. Under the current circumstances this quantitative research detects, describes, and measures attitudes of 807 students of 5 Greek universities towards the distance learning process. The data that was collected by using a 5-point Likert scale reflects the strong agreement of the students that face-to-face teaching cannot be replaced by distance learning, especially when it comes to laboratory training. The consensus is also that remote learning has abased pedagogical relationships between professors and classmates and among the latter as well. Findings indicate that students come to a meeting of minds about the educational inequalities which are worsened by the lack of digital equipment and undeveloped technological infrastructure. Furthermore, this study reveals a correlation between the responses of the sample and their demographic and social characteristics, something that offers possibilities for additional research.

In this sense, it is a crisis of care: the work of caring for humans, non-humans, and the shared biosphere. As a group of activists and scholars from the Feminisms and Degrowth Alliance, we take this opportunity to reflect on how we can, from our diverse positions, face this moment, organize, and collectively imagine radical alternative modes of living: those with more time for community, relationship building, and care for each other as well as the non-human world.
