ABSTRACT
Multiple literacies have emerged in the 21st Century broadening the meaning of literacy. These literacies describe the professional skills required to meet the challenges of contemporary and future society. This paper focuses on Ecoliteracy as a skill to understand the organizational principles of ecological communities in order to be able to apply these principles to the improvement of human communities. Design as a discipline plays a fundamental role in the development of such communities, and so, this paper presents a systems-based design process developed from Ecoliteracy perspective, reflecting upon how ecoliteracy could nurture the design process and aid in developing educational strategies to train eco-aware professionals.
