One of the subjects at the Hotel & Tourism program is “Sustainable tourism”.
The class had a task were they should draw a picture. The purpose of the drawing was to illustrate each student’s daily/weekly usage of consuming articles and different public services. In the center of the paper the student had to draw a self-portrait. The teacher also told them to draw their: favorite dish, things that they had bought the last week, 5 tech gadgets they like most, the way of transportation to school and devices they use daily.
Next task
was to pick out things in their picture that the student could change for a
more sustainable environment and development. E.g. use bicycle for
transpiration to school instead of going by bus, to choose more environmentally
friendly textiles when buying cloths.
This is an interesting task to think about! Every-one of us should do this kind of exercise now and then to realize how much we just use services and the environment!
ReplyDeleteIt is good to see how issues like sustainability is taken for granted in tourism-programs!
