Using Simulations

Discover how the UpToYou! simulation can create exciting learning experiences for your students on the topic of sustainability.

The pedagogical approach of Making Europe`s Future Sustainable project involves a range of teaching and learning methods that encourage active and participatory learning. This includes critical reflection, dialogue, and inquiry-based learning. We seek to engage learners in experiential and collaborative learning activities that promote empathy, understanding, and respect for others.

The key principles are:

• Understanding of global issues: by developing learners’ knowledge on such issues as poverty, inequality, climate change, human rights, and peacebuilding.
• Empowerment and agency: by empowering learners to take action to address global issues by developing their critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Promoting values and attitudes: by promoting values and attitudes that support global citizenship, such as empathy, respect for diversity, and commitment to social justice and sustainability.
• Active and participatory learning: by promoting active and participatory learning that engages learners in critical reflection, dialogue, and collaborative action.
• Integration of local and global perspectives: by integrating local and global perspectives by exploring how global issues impact local communities and how local actions can contribute to global change.
• Collaboration and partnership: by encouraging collaboration and partnership between learners, educators, and community organizations to foster collective action for global change.
• By promoting values and attitudes that support global citizenship, we seek to foster a sense of responsibility and agency among learners to create a more just, peaceful, and sustainable world.
