description The COVID-19 health emergency and the planetary crisis, which are inextricably linked to the ongoing climate and environmental impacts, have forced us to confront unprecedented contingencies, serving as a reflective stimulus to address some of the most urgent educational issues.

Accepting this conscious and non-rhetorical invitation directly requires pedagogical responsibility in initiating processes of profound reflection for a new culture of human development that reclaims the ontological values of limitation and care as indicators of human and social resilience.
