Abstract

The inherently diverse folkloric values are the applied aspects of folk philosophy. Amongst these values, the paper focusses on a few specific tenets that are transplanted in the beginners' hearts to counteract the current culture of thriving consumption that instigates competition and greed, profit-making use of science and technology, and moral degradation. These values are also linked to the globalisation of sustainability education to counteract the destruction of the natural and social environment. They need major attention right from the primary level of education. Using the case study of Bangladesh, the paper presents a synopsis of the core folkloric tradition of the country and critically analyses the substantial impact of folk values on the daily lives of its inhabitants as well as discusses how these values can contribute to sustainability.
