Very applicable to the students' own lives, so they are able to be really engaged.
The students learned about and became very engaged in the issues of over consumption and how young people like them are constantly bombarded by advertisements, encouraging them to buy the latest model of phone or the newest fashionable clothes. It encouraged them to start thinking about their own consumption and how this has an impact on their own lives but also on the environment.
