Our world is in constant evolution. By 2050, over 6 billion people will live in cities. These ones will have to evolve to welcome the extra inhabitants who will need places to live, transport to travel and energy. Therefore, extra pressure will be put on Earth’s resources. To raise awareness in our young citizens’ mind, our students will have to think about the challenges that will affect our lives (transport, architecture, food, energy, environment…). They will have to come up with environmentally-friendly ideas in order to face them and build together the “smartest EUtopian city of the future”.
Thanks to this project, our students will have the opportunity to :
– develop communication and collaborative skills
– improve their English Language skills
– develop critical thinking and reasoning skills in order to find solutions to problems
– develop their citizenship skills and get involved in a project.
– develop ICT skills
– discover the concept of “smart city”
– discover European cities and cultures
– learn about sustainable development, European cities, English vocabulary & grammar.
– develop spatial orientation skills
All along the project and thanks to collaborative activities, our students will get knowledge and share ideas in order to create OUR 2050 EUtopian smart city.
