Topic:
When we say education, the first idea that comes to mind is to teach children the knowledge they need in order to secure their future. But there has to be a future.
Sustainable development appears as a solution that promotes prosperity while protecting our planet.

Understanding and teaching the causes and consequences seem to be a pedagogical lock because the complexity and diversity of the phenomena involved are so difficult to manage.
Through a few examples, we will see how we can teach and raise awareness of sustainable development.
