Green School Dreamers: Building Tomorrow’s Eco-Spaces

What would your dream eco-school look like? In this project based learning experience, students from different countries collaborate to design 3D models of sustainable schools using recycled materials. Through playful Design Thinking activities, they imagine, prototype, and present innovative solutions turning education for sustainable development into something students can build with their own hands. A perfect example of a global classroom in action.
