Humanity is currently facing several challenges, many of them tackled by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One of them, maybe the most relevant one, is to reorient our lifestyles.

The sequence of activities aims at provoking critical thinking about the concept of Sustainable Development, focusing on excessive consumption of certain resources (water, fossil fuels, certain minerals ...) and in the production of waste (CO2, waste solids, water pollutants...), as the two most general problems we face from the environmental point of view. Schools become global in the way they share themes of work and imagine common objectives.
