Step 1 (Wonder)

During this research you will investigate five different sustainable projects in Rotterdam. Sustainable development literally means: a way of producing and consuming without environmental exhaustion and environmental pollution and minimizing environmental impact. If you don't remember what sustainability is, look it up in Chapter 4 of your coursebook.

Also watch this video to see what sustainability is about. It is a very huge subject which you can look at from a lot of different perspectives.This video is made by the Port of Rotterdam, which is one of the most sustainable harbours in the world.

You, on the other hand, are going to research the sustainability of the City of Rotterdam.

There are many sustainable projects or locations in the city of Rotterdam to investigate.
Below are six categories into which you can divide those sustainable projects/locations:

You must choose five sustainable locations or projects, each of which fits a different category. So you cannot choose two projects about water.

Be careful not to simply choose a location or project. It is useful to choose a somewhat larger project so that you have enough information at your disposal to answer the subquestions about your project.

You can use this website, among others, to find sustainable locations: https://duurzaam010.nl/nieuws/ 
This is a website with news reports about sustainable initiatives in Rotterdam, where you can get inspiration.

Rotterdam Duurzaam

You are also allowed to search on the web to find suitable projects.

Once you have chosen all five of your locations/projects, send a list of the five chosen projects and locations with the matching category in the teams app and ask your teacher for approval.

After the permission of the teacher you can go to step 2.
