Everything is connected : exploring pathways towards environmental awareness within Universidad Panamericana’s community through a learning by design, active and multidisciplinary experience

2018 , Mendieta Jiménez, Bertha Alicia , Repellin Moreno, Adriana Agnes , Chávez Tellerias, Rocio

This work describes the design process to develop an innovative learning methodology for the socialization of sustainability issues with the aim of sharing good practices and making them replicable in various educational contexts at different levels. Socializing an encyclical letter through an active, interactive, and innovative experience that encouraged the commitment of the campus community towards ecological conversion, was the objective with which we designed the “Everything is Connected” Workshop. We explain how Universidad Panamericana acquired the task of socializing the contents of the Encyclical Letter Laudato Si’ as a member of the Inter-American Chair Laudato Si’. Then we discuss how the key contents can be translated into pedagogical design principles for workshop planning, as well as the elements of the Learning by Design and Visible Thinking pedagogical theories that were applied to the workshop strategy and materials design. Finally we present the results of the participants experience in the Workshop. ©2018 Iated Academy S.L.
