Tondo come il mondo / Edition 2022-2023
Our sustainable city
There are many and all fundamental environmental emergencies highlighted by the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development: for this edition the attention of children was focused on Objective 11, which aims to “make cities and settlements inclusive, safe, long-lasting and sustainable”.
The exercise proposed to the pupils aims to make an analysis of the most important problems of their own city and therefore to try to imagine how the city of the future should be: what energies it will use, how its citizens will move and what services they will be able to use, how much green spaces there could be, how will be the houses, the streets…
This fun workshop led the classes to create a 3D model or a map of the imagined sustainable city.
The choice of the classes selected for the jury was made according to the following criteria:
• creativity and commitment in the design of the work;
• quality in the realization of the work;
• attention to the environment, energy and healthy lifestyles.
