Cinema and sustainability - 3 ECTS

This course promotes knowledge of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (Agenda 2030) through a selection of works from Spanish and Latin American cinema associated with each of these goals.

Cinema is to be put forward as an effective instrument of awareness in favor of the social and human values, fomenting awareness and reflection on the world in which we live.

It provides teachers and educators with an effective tool to design their own programme to teach SDGs in classroom from the perspective of Cinema. Access to the syllabus
