Sustainability challenge

The sustainability detectives accompany a winning team of the cell phone collection campaign, visit a European Championship match and fan miles. They create short videos in which they ask the interviewees about their attitude towards sustainability. They also ask questions about fan and stadium culture and the extent to which sustainability aspects play a role there.

The Sustainability Detectives Challenge as part of the European Football Championship offers an opportunity to actively involve young people in the discussion and shaping of a sustainable and digitally responsible future. Through their involvement around the sporting event, they are given a platform to raise their voices and initiate change. The engagement is intended to raise long-term awareness of digital sustainability and responsible online behavior.

The challenge also provides a unique opportunity to educate students about the importance of sustainability in an international context. By linking it to the popular pan-European event, teachers can spark young people's interest and show them how international sporting events can be used to promote important issues such as environmental protection and social responsibility. In this way, the Challenge not only raises awareness of sustainable practices, but also facilitates intercultural exchange and discussions on common global challenges and solutions.

All collected results and contributions of the challenge are summarized on this portal in a video diary and can be used by all interested teachers and pedagogical professionals as inspiration for discussions and media education projects on the topics of (global) sustainability and digitalization.
