Trash Hack Action Learning for Sustainable Development: A Teacher's Guide

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) gives people the tools to tackle the problems of the present and future, to fight the climate crisis, change the world and achieve the SDGs. ESD rethinks what we learn, where we learn and how we learn. It is about lifelong learning, which lets people develop the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes that enable them to make informed decisions and actions on global problems.

The action-based activities in this guide intend to contribute to fostering the three dimensions of learning (cognitive, socio-emotional andbehavioural) and thereby promoting cross-cutting competencies for the SDGs, such as systems thinking, anticipatory competency, collaboration, critical thinking and integrated problem-solving.
