As researchers, they delved into the realm of transformative Education for Sustainable Development within the classroom. The focus was on centering and nurturing children's knowledge, empathy, and a sense of global citizenship.
‘The idea is we are global, united. I think that’s important. Reflecting on the lesson and connecting with the idea of empathy.’ (Teacher)
