Summary/Abstract: G.M. Sumner (Sting) is a teacher and pedagogue by education. After a short period ofschoolwork, he began a career as a professional musician. As a musician with peda-gogical education (from the second half of the 1970s to the present day), he achievedsignificant successes in the artistic field, functioning not only in the real world butalso in the digital world, thanks to the mediatized everyday life, currently existingin many different social media. We believe that Sting is a Public Intellectual not leastbecause of the message his songs convey, but also because of his charity work andinvolvement in the social issues of the modern world. On the example of a few selectedtexts of his songs and his activities outside of music, we reconstructed his pedagogy,which has its roots in recognizing the importance of the relationship between manand nature.
