Abstract
This study analyzes the educational theory contained in the second part of Solidarity, a pamphlet by the League of Nations, from the perspective of citizenship. It addresses coexistence and freedom to clarify the objectives and principles of education. Symbiosis with nature is a condition for human life; individual freedom is a condition for the progress of human society, and solidarity, as a practical obligation, is a condition for order. The objective of education is to foster the ability to understand the current status of these conditions and put them into practice. The principles of education stated in this study are as follows: Education based on the principle of natural symbiosis, which involves mutual obligations among individuals, families, and communities, to ensure that people have the right to freedom; Education based on the principle of quasi contract, which involves mutual obligations between individuals and the cooperative system, to ensure freedom and equality in the community, which enables people to have the spirit of solidarity; Education based on the principle of quasi social contract, which involves mutual obligations between individuals and society to allow individuals to contribute to society and work, which ensures that people have social rights ; Education based on the principle of quasi social contract, which involves mutual obligations among individuals, the state, and the international community, to equitably implement education, labor, taxation, and social welfare, which enables people to have suffrage. It is necessary to develop education and social conditions based on these principles to guarantee the human rights of all people. In Education for Sustainable Development in home economics education, it was considered essential to structure the learning objectives and contents so that individuals can think of justice in relation to family, community, society, country, and international society as their own rights and obligations, starting from the learning that families nurture lives.
