Field trips and Education for sustainable development. A proposal for youth participation using digital storytelling

In a globalized society, it is necessary to open educational institutions to the environment and promote youth participation in sustainable development; to this end, it is necessary to consider teaching and learning methodologies that allow us to involve our students and in turn facilitate them an active role in society. With the rise of digital technologies, the future of education must involve young people in the municipalities and give them a voice to participate in the world around them. In this article we present a didactic proposal based on digital storytelling using video to involve children and young people in sustainable development during field trips. The proposal has been tested in a secondary school in the province of Girona and is approached from a qualitative research perspective. The analysis of the results obtained from the experimentation of the didactic proposal shows us the potential of digital storytelling to raise awareness and involve young people in sustainable development. As a conclusion we should emphasize the necessity to include digital storytelling through video as an effective communication strategy to promote youth participation in sustainable development.
