In the fall of 2023, MoMA’s Young Learners team posed two questions: How can ecological thinking and sustainability underpin teaching and learning in our schools? And how can art, architecture, and design inspire us to address issues within our communities and contribute to the development of a more sustainable and environmentally friendly world?
In a three-part professional development series, local and international teachers explored teaching strategies for environmental education aimed at empowering children to take ownership of their surroundings and foster values linked to sustainability.
This exhibition showcases the transformative influence of teachers integrating new ideas into their classrooms. It highlights design challenges that inspired students to create spaces emphasizing sustainability and projects that address real-life issues, celebrate interconnectedness, and evoke joy.
