Abstract

How can associations use digital technologies to address grand challenges? This paper analyses the digital practices of French associations specialised in Environmental and Sustainable Development Education (ESDE) and the types of learning processes they trigger. Based on a case study of the digital practices of 13 ESDE associations through semi-structured interviews, we explore the types of learning processes activated by these practices. To identify ESDE digital practices, we use social practice theory according to which a practice emerges when performed through the combination of three elements: Material, Competence, and Meaning. Our study identifies 131 ESDE digital practices, and underlines that only 17 practices were able to activate second order learning, which is key to deep sustainability transformation. We also underline the benefits of interdisciplinary research, in this case using a sociological concept used to study individuals' ecological behaviour to shed light on organisational practices tackling grand challenges.
