Scenarios for a sustainable Europe
Completion requirements
Note: I think this unit should also be designed as if directly for students, with additional reflection and networking questions for teachers.
I discovered this resource by accident, but thought it might make a good activity for this unit.
Learning objectives (GreenComp)
3.1 Futures literacy
"To envision alternative sustainable futures by imagining and developing alternative scenarios and identifying the steps needed to achieve a preferred sustainable future"
"To envision alternative sustainable futures by imagining and developing alternative scenarios and identifying the steps needed to achieve a preferred sustainable future"
In this lesson, participants consider future scenarios for a sustainable Europe.
They begin by exploring their own visions for a sustainable Europe, through drawing a rich picture diagram.
Extension: participants may begin by mapping the current situation, with a focus on aspects which are unsustainable at present.
Next,
they adopt one of 4 'imaginary scenarios' for a sustainable Europe. In
small groups, they prepare to argue the advantages of their scenario,
and the disadvantages of other scenarios.
Groups
are then mixed so that each group has at least one member of each of
the 4 imaginary scenario groups, and hold a group discussion, where each
perspective is oultined followed by critical questions and responses.
Two group members take the role of journalists, detailing the main
arguments and responses.
Finally,
participants return to their vision for a sustainable Europe. They add
steps which lead towards their desired future short-term, mid-term and
long-term. They represent this vision as a) a rich picture, b) an
article, and/or c) a podcast
