The issues related to the transformative learning for sustainability require a deep new reappraisal of the evaluation processes, just as the international research authorities demand, even by the light of the peculiar democratic applications and within the education joint-responsibility which represent the most functional and fruitful answers to the pandemic emergency. “Agentic equity”, as it is proposed in the transdisciplinary search scope, according to the neuroscientific basis, traces a noteworthy value to the co-built educational paths into the learning micro-communities which germinate in the educational systems indeed. Authentic co-evaluating processes represent a fundamental element of the teaching and learning bond because they redefine self-awareness, the relationship with each other and with the ecosystem. Although the situated and informal learning have greatly contributed as methodologies, they actually gain generative consistency in the structured transitional context, where the action is led by active listening and proactive transformative dynamics
