EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS FOR THE CLASSROOM!

Teaching and learning C2C
What is Cradle to Cradle?
Our explanatory video!
Wondering what #CradletoCradle actually means and why it’s a solution to our current climate, resource, environmental problems?
That’s what Nora and Tim from Cradle to Cradle NGO explain in this video. They answer questions such as: Why do we have to deal differently with the raw materials of our earth and, above all, how can we do this? Why is a large footprint sometimes better than a small one? Why is trash just a lack of imagination? Why is nature a role model for our way of doing business? How can we design smart products for cycles? And the question of all questions: Why is this shit not allowed in the circle?
Cradle to Cradle

There are many ways to bring C2C into schools. Starting with integration into lessons, through projects that transform the learning environment, to the commitment of the school community to new political framework conditions.
