“Turning around things we can achieve a better world.” That is the message conveyed by the campaign of a group of NGOs, Somos, which proposed to wear a garment inside out on 24 May in an initiative that has been supported by numerous public figures. MIT students in 4th of ESO wanted to be part of it, and many pupils from other courses wanted to participate in the proposal too, as you can see in the video.
Also, in 4º of the ESO was conducted a dynamic proposal by the aforementioned campaign that consisted on splitting the class into four groups whose mission was to do as many  cardboard cubes of eight inches square as they could. To achieve that, each team had a different allocation of resources (cardboard, scissors, rulers, pencils and tape). The aim was for the students to understand the real world situation, in which each country has specific resources that differ from those of other countries. Resources could be exchanged between groups by a representative, but they could not use oral language to negotiate.
Finally, there was a guided debate in which the students explained the problems they had encountered during the dynamics and how they managed to solve them. The result was very enlightening, and students, who responded with great enthusiasm, could check thanks to this experience what the current world problems are and some possible solutions.
