Abstract

The study investigates the challenges and potential of environmental education in tackling the climate emergency, with a focus on equity, interculturality and social justice. Inspired by Trejo-Rangel et al. (2021), it uses interactive 3D models to visualize local risks and promote student engagement in disaster mitigation. Based on data collection and territorial analysis, the experience will be documented in audio and video to evaluate the interaction and learning of the participants. (AU)
