DESCRIPTION OF THE LEARNING MATERIALS
1. Group work: How is my smartphone (product) made? • Students analyse the life cycle of a product. They give recommendations to make the product or business model more sustainable.
HOW TO USE?
In this learning material, students deal with a complex problem using Problem-Based Learning. Based on a few example case studies, students collect information on how a product is made and what happens after it is discarded. Subsequently, they formulate advice on how to improve the overall sustainability of the product
In the word file, you can find the instructions for the students. It is possible to do the complete exercise together with the students. You can use the powerpoint presentation to go through the lifecycle of a smartphone or avocado. Afterward, students can do the same exercise for a product they choose by themselves. It is also possible to start immediately with the exercise. Let the students work in groups and make sure they have access to the internet to look some things up.

DESCRIPTION OF THE LEARNING MATERIALS
In this learning material, students learn to think in systems rather than focus on the separate components of a system. This enhances the capacity to understand the limited nature of natural resources and the importance or sustainable resource use.
HOW TO USE?
Systems thinking and system dynamics education encourage us to look at the relationships between and among the parts of a system—not just at the parts themselves—and they help us to understand the implications of those relationships over time. The goal of the learning material is prepare students think and act in light of systems as the context for decision making.
Before you do the excercises try to explain the concept of system thinking. You can use the word file for this. Try to work with an example of a wicked problem (for example our food system, plastic waste, bio fuel,…) and illustrate the tools they can use on this example.
