Philosophy of education in a new key: Who remembers Greta Thunberg? Education and environment after the coronavirus

This collective writing, led by Jandrić and shaped by the voices of multiple contributors, interrogates the intersection of education, environmental crisis, and global disruption in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. It opens with the haunting question: who remembers Greta Thunberg?—not as a provocation about individual memory, but as an invitation to reflect on how collective attention shifts, how crises compete, and how educational futures are rewritten under pressure. The piece navigates the fragile terrain between environmental urgency and pandemic-induced uncertainty. It refuses to treat these as separate events. Instead, it views them as part of a broader ecological and epistemological reckoning, one that implicates education not only as a site of learning, but as a cultural and political apparatus capable of both reproducing crisis and fostering transformation. The collective writing format mirrors the very entanglements the piece explores. It brings together divergent yet interwoven perspectives, forming a dialogic response to the interconnectedness of planetary health, public discourse, and pedagogical responsibility. This is not a single argument delivered in consensus, but a polyphonic meditation on how we remember, reprioritise, and act. Rather than offering environmental education as a technical fix or curricular add-on, the authors explore it as a deeply ethical practice, one that must contend with attention, urgency, justice, and care. They question how educational institutions respond to crisis, and whether those responses are merely adaptive or genuinely transformative. This is a call to re-centre the ecological in education, but also to rethink how crisis itself is conceptualised. The piece asks what education must become—not after the pandemic or climate emergency, but within them. It insists that remembering Greta Thunberg is not about a person, but about the memory of a moment—and the challenge to act on it now.
