“…Given the previous limited performance of research in serving as the educational pillar for CE (Romero-Luis et al, 2021), which should be a priority for serving and applying the new vision, and that the research seems to have been underestimated so far, the current study pursues to share an innovative practice of teaching-learning, simultaneously initiating and encouraging a critical discussion on this issue. Building on a virtual business case at the secondary level of formal vocational education and presenting the relevant activities and the results derived from this case study, we aspire to contribute effectively to covering the gap in the existing literature and create innovative paths for future investigation.…”

IntroductionDespite increasing research on the transition of a well-established linear-oriented economic system toward the circular economy (CE) model, existing literature on the adoption and implementation of educational approaches that reinforce CE concept in secondary education seems to be limited. In light of the current challenges and the critical role of education in empowering students to explore new paths of sustainable development and grow into active citizens, conscious producers, and consumers, this study focuses on experiential learning as an effective tool for teaching CE and sustainability concepts. The literature review has revealed a research gap as regards the formulation of educational approaches to support CE concepts for secondary education students effectively, particularly in Greek vocational education. The present study describes and critically discusses how a virtual enterprise could introduce secondary-level students to the circularity and sustainability perspective, prepare them to build prosperity, and act circularly in the future.MethodsDrawing on the activities of 32 students coming from different disciplines and participants in a virtual agri-business, we recommend practical educational strategies expecting (i) to encourage teachers to adopt innovative teaching methods and share good practices of CE teaching and (ii) to urge education policymakers to integrate the CE vision into school curricula.Results and discussionFurthermore, the students' responses to a structured questionnaire before and after the programme implementation indicate that experiential learning should be supported by the teaching of theoretical aspects for a better consolidation of abstract concepts such as CE and sustainability. The implementation of a circular enterprise by a student team consists of a positive prospect for the community and economy.

The article shows the relevance of transition to a cyclical economy in the society under the influence of global crises. Two hypotheses were proposed. Firstly, the formation of environmental values in Ukrainian society can be traced, which can create the basis for the transition of society to a circular economy model. Secondly, the important role of education in the implementation of the concepts of sustainable development and the circular economy has been confirmed, since it ensures the formation of environmental and economic consciousness, value orientations and social culture, trains specialists and develops the economy, in particular cyclical economy. To assess the hypotheses, the following were used: an online survey of representatives of the educational community. The results showed: 1) insufficient awareness of respondents about the nature of the circular economy; 2) the value of protecting the ecology of the region and the understanding of the importance of environmental protection in Ukrainian society are weak; 3) The most important problems include economic problems, but at the same time, environmental problems of the territories. An analysis of the scientific literature and coverage of foreign practical experience made it possible to determine the ways of developing education in support of sustainable development, the “green” and cyclical economy, the reorientation of higher and postgraduate education towards the training of specialists in the cyclical economy. The results can be useful in the formation and adaptation of educational and environmental strategies.
