Within the framework of the project, a Polish and English language version of the Teaching guide under the title How to talk about sustainable development? Lesson scenarios for secondary schools was created. It is designed to support teachers who want to discuss topics related to the transformation of the socio-economic system towards sustainability with their students.
The book presents a wide range of issues, so that young people will have the opportunity to gain knowledge in different areas of this complex field: green and digital transformation, responsible food consumption, circular economy, idea of zero waste. The authors emphasise that everyone can contribute to the necessary change and point out the available ways.
Each scenario is structured according to the same scheme to facilitate the preparation and conduct of lessons: it begins by defining the objectives of the lesson, methods and forms of work, key concepts and supporting materials that can be used during the lesson. Next, the proposed course of the lesson is described. At the end of each scenario there are sources and useful links, as well as supporting materials ready for use during the lesson.
