Overview

This teaching resource provides you with multiple lessons worth of material that can be used to immerse students in, and connect with, the positive sustainability messages explored in the documentary film 2040. Students take inspiration from the solutions presented to propose ideas for leading their community to a better future. It has been designed to guide students through a project where they will consolidate and extend learning from any of the other lessons in the 2040 units.

Students work collaboratively to develop a 2040 vision for their community and present their ideas to the community. Based on feedback from the community, they then work together to design, plan and implement a project from their 2040 community vision. The social action created can be used to engage your school or the wider community. Following project completion, students will celebrate and reflect on the success of their project and their participation in the project.

Students are given opportunities to apply their learning in real world situations, in the classroom, school, home or the local community.

Level of teacher scaffolding: Medium – oversee activities and facilitate class discussions.

Learning intentions:

Students will understand that they have a role to play in creating the future they want to see
Students will understand and plan the processes required for planning and executing an action-based community project
