CPD activity: Sustainable development
From the CPD activities online resource
Learning intention:
For participants to think about what sustainable development means
in relation to their own lifestyles as well as to the school and
community.
Activity:
1. Give each (group of participants the three
quotations about sustainable development, and ask them which
one they feel best describes sustainable development, and why.
(There is no 'right' answer!) Ask them to arrange the statements
to show their order of preference. If the group does not agree on
the order, arrange the statements to reflect this - perhaps in a
line.
2. Invite the participants to walk around the room
to look at how other groups have arranged their statements.
3. Then give out to participants the concepts
of sustainable development. Ask participants to discuss how
these definitions relate to their earlier views of sustainable development.
4. Give participants a chance to share their thoughts as a whole.
5. Then separate the groups into two halves. Ask half of the groups
to design the layout, policies and practices of a school that is
a model for the promotion of' sustainable development. Ask the other
half to do the same but for a school that is against the promotion
of sustainable development. The table
may help with some ideas on ways of promoting healthy sustainable
lifestyles at school. The list of ideas is far from exhaustive.
6. Share ideas in a plenary session, possibly including discussion
about which model your school most resembles.
