SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES

Learn about what it takes to be sustainable, while competing in a game show.

Centred on the three pillars of sustainability: 'environment', 'society', and 'economy', students will explore what it takes to live, work and play in a sustainable community.

In a world where sustainability is heavily influenced by what we put in our shopping basket, students will consider their role in closing the loop to create a more circular economy.

Inspired by real-world examples of innnovative sustainable products (... and not-so-sustainable ones), they will explore the hidden costs involved in producing, shipping, and packaging essential items as they compete for points in this gamified experience.

So, come on down, buzz in, and sweep the competition as your students flex their sustainability skills.

Key Themes: sustainability, collaboration, communication, creativity, critical thinking, ethical considerations, circular economies
