Aiming for a sustainable society through the construction and management of a "the best mix for living" education system
Activity grant
- Project Description
To prevent global warming and practise a sustainable way of living, it is important to always question your environment and living when making choices, and bear these things in your mind. As a tool to help people to keep this balance and improve in this area, an environmental board game "save the white bear!" has been developed and implemented for elementary school students. At the same time, a programme will be developed to effectively use the board game, and create the game on a larger scale for use on school programmes.
