Abstract:	The focus of the collaboration is the evaluation of education for sustainability activities which are part of a local ES program offered by the municipality of Sant Cugat del Vallès. The principles that act as background of this evaluation are the following: (a) the evaluation as an inclusive activity that takes into account the diversity of community actors' views; (b) the learning of life styles more committed towards the sustainability of the planet; and (c) the integration of social, cultural, economical and natural dimensions involved in the problematization of ES activities. The main contribution of this initiative is the creation of an evaluation tool called DICES (Cogenerative Dialogues for ES) based on a participatory and interactive approach among all stakeholders with the aim of negotiating quality criteria for ES activities. This tool has been inspired by the work of Roth & Tobin (2001) who first used cogenerative dialogues in teacher education.
