Abstract

In the middle of 2017, near the end of the second decade of the twenty-first century, humanity is struggling with the terror of a planet beset by climate change, extinction of species and loss of forests. These instances generate controversy, fear and consequently discouragement in the world population. There have been considerable inclusions of environmental issues in Honduran education raising people’s awareness. This time, emphasis will be placed on the application of hope in non-Formal education in relation to boost a self-critical thought that allows the citizen to integrate itself in a changing world where he is part and must become as such an active voice of the change he wants in his home, community and planet.

The work of the educator becomes crucial to create these spaces of self-reflection in the process of sowing hope to begin a change. The text suggests using the United Nations Millennium Development Goals as they touch upon elements of prosperity and well-being intrinsic to all of humanity.
