Popis

This educational resource introduces role-playing as an interactive teaching method to engage students in sustainability and climate change discussions. It consists of a compact methodological guide and a ready-to-use classroom activity that allows students to explore real-world dilemmas related to environmental and economic decision-making.

The method guide outlines the theoretical background of role-playing, its pedagogical benefits, and step-by-step implementation for educators. It highlights how role-plays foster critical thinking, social awareness, and problem-solving skills, making learning more engaging and experiential.

The teaching unit, “Creating Futures – Lesson 8”, presents a climate change role-play scenario where students debate whether to extract or leave newly discovered oil beneath their community. They take on different stakeholder roles—including government officials, climate experts, oil companies, and local residents—to analyze the economic, environmental, and social impacts of fossil fuel extraction.

Throughout the lesson, students engage in decision-making exercises, group discussions, and reflective analysis. The activity encourages collaborative problem-solving, helping students develop a deeper understanding of the complexities behind climate policies, sustainability challenges, and collective action.

This resource is particularly relevant for subjects such as Science, Social Studies, Environmental Science, Business, and Languages. It applies student-centered approaches, empowering students to explore real-world sustainability issues through role-play and debate.

By placing students in active roles, this resource develops their civic engagement and sustainability citizenship skills, preparing them to make informed, responsible decisions for the future.
