Lesson Summary
This teaching resource provides you with multiple lessons worth of material that can be used to immerse students in, and connect with, the positive sustainability messages explored in the documentary film 2040. Students begin by assessing where their community is in terms of the themes of the 2040 documentary. Next, students take inspiration from the solutions presented in 2040, to propose ideas for leading their community to a better future.
Students work collaboratively to develop a 2040 vision for their community and present their ideas to the community. Based on feedback from the community, they then work together to design, plan and implement a project from their 2040 community vision. The social action created can be used to engage your school or the wider community. Following project completion, students will celebrate and reflect on the success of their project and their participation in the project.
