Atenció sdg9 Indústria, innovació i infraestructura
Comprender los aspectos fundamentalmente insostenibles de nuestra sociedad y la forma en que se está desarrollando y la necesidad urgente de cambio hacia una infraestructura resiliente, una industrialización e innovación inclusivas y sostenibles.
Introduce the idea of how learning from nature can lead to smarter designs and more sustainable solutions. Students, in small groups, explore the school to identify unsustainable behaviour, routines etc. They then brainstorm alternative, sustainable solutions that might include mimicry, circular thinking and/or cradle to cradle.
Students write the challenge and solutions on a big sheet of paper and put it on the wall.
Teams check and critique each other’s work.
If possible, the results are presented to the school management.
NB: the whole process can be adapted to consider home, personal lifestyle, neighbourhood etc…
