Design Thinking: A Creative Approach to Sustainability Education

Design Thinking has emerged as a key method in IL4SH, helping students and educators to develop their own sustainability projects. This creative problem-solving approach encourages learners to empathise with others, define problems, generate ideas, create prototypes and test their solutions. It is a flexible tool that lends itself well to intergenerational learning and citizen science, enabling schools to develop innovative, student-led initiatives that tackle genuine environmental issues.
