As educators, we have a unique opportunity to inspire students by expanding their understanding of global challenges and prompting them to think critically about local issues and solutions. In this session, we will discuss how to use language and project-based learning to help students engage with real sustainability challenges and solutions while enhancing their critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills. You will leave the session with practical ideas to help your English language learners create positive change in their local and global communities.
