advocacy networks, sustainable development goalsResumo
This study aims to advance the understanding of advocacy networks in educational contexts by identifying their key features and examining how they connect with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). An exploratory qualitative study was conducted in three Brazilian educational institutions that operate as networks and develop projects related to sustainable development. The findings characterize the three core dimensions of advocacy networks—strong ties, information flow, and multilevel actors—demonstrating their relevance for the management of the projects analyzed. The results indicate that these advocacy initiatives are directly linked to sustainable development and contribute to ten SDGs, highlighting how education extends beyond institutional boundaries and generates tangible impacts within local communities. The study offers both theoretical and practical contributions by refining the understanding of advocacy networks from an educational perspective and providing insights for managers seeking to organize and strengthen networks oriented toward sustainable development.
