This is Celia, she’s working on SDG 10, Climate Action. Celia is a teenager worried about where the world is going – too much plastic, hyperconsumption. She has dreamt up a project called ‘Consumo Derroche’ with the aim of helping improve the environment, using technology is a different, constructive way. A way that will not contribute to destroying and degrading the environment.
Consumo Derroche is a project developed in the framework of the ‘Laudato Si’ challenge that encourages the search for solutions to recycle and reduce waste around the globe by using technology. And Celia is determined to get into action, adding her own “little grain of sand” to the world of activists. Watch her explain how she plans to shape her future:

DESIGN for CHANGE is the largest global movement driven by children who believe that ‘every child can’ Design for Change reaches 35 countries, over 300,000 schools and 25 million children with a belief that ‘I CAN’.
The Design for Change Challenge asks students to do four very simple things :
Feel | Imagine | Do | Share
Children are dreaming up brilliant ideas all over the world, from challenging age-old superstitions in rural communities, to earning their own money to finance school computers, to solving the problem of heavy school bags, etc.
Children are proving that they have what it takes to be able to ‘design’ a future that they imagine and feel strongly about.
The Design for Change community believes that to see the change one needs to ‘Be the Change’.
We encourage teachers and parents to celebrate the fact that change is possible and that they can lead this movement towards change!
