At the Gate of Prom
Also students can have an active role in promoting the culture of sustainability. As an example, have a look at this and the way it raises awareness around SDG 11.
A group of 25 students who attended the Integrated Modification Methodology for built environment (IMM) class part of the MSc program in Building and Architectural Engineering at Politecnico di Milano, produced a digital storytelling in the form of a 5 minutes video. With the consideration of the fact that stories engage our attention, influence our beliefs or actions, and provide a “partial suspension of the rules of the real” that helps us safely explore the future, this short video has been produced by Politecnico di Milano’s students with the aim of promoting the role of SDG in our daily life and to increase the people awareness on the topic of the sustainable development.
The video titled: “At the gate of the Prom” has been produced in the form of the Storytelling as a very effective method for involving people. The story presenting a daily experience of two youth university students in love, the day before the university prom, aims to show how the SDGs are part of our daily life and how simple decisions may make the difference for our common future.
The story aims to increase the people awareness, focusing on hopes instead of problems, it aims to involve everyone as part of the story and to let everyone the felling to be part of the possible solution.
Moreover, it aims to tell the complex role and the systemic structure of the SDGs by a simple and clear daily life story. The video has been presented at Politecnico di Milano on May 7th 2019 in an open international forum/seminar.
