sDG 14 – Life Below Water / SDG 15 – Life on Land
#LiteracyApproach #LiteracyIsForLife

Creativity as scientific communication

GOAL: To blend art, environmental awareness, and persuasive literacy.

Nature is our life support system. It provides us with food to eat, air to breathe, materials to build with and beauty to behold. But right now it is in crisis. 

After watching a thought-provoking video, our students accepted the third challenge of the SDGs and used their creativity SYMBOLICALLY for change by uploading their tree drawings (planting trees, metaphorically) to contribute to grow bigger our digital forest so as to show that they care for nature. Because they do. In addition, for awareness.

Let's create our own digital forest! Let's plant our trees!! CHALLENGE Accepted!!

This interactive map allows you to listen to forests around the world
