This workshop supports pupils, 4th to 6th classes, to design a thriving eco village which harnesses green energy, grows its own food and supports and cherishes all of its community, while minimising its impact on our planet.  Discussion on the UN Sustainable Goals, object based learning and games relating to sustainable living in the past, present and future, will support pupils to define the scope of their futuristic eco village. They will then work in teams, using drawing, making and collage, to visually represent it.
