Teaching and learning is not about
ordinary teaching but about
equipping learners with the
survival skills that will help them
in case of unfavourable
circumstances that can emerge in
their live.
This is one of the Sustainable
Development Goals prescribed by
UNESCO. In this presentation I will

fight illiteracy, maintain good
health and well being, fight
climate change, support life on
land , responsible consumption

food using natural and recycled
material and how to sustain and
replicate the method.
