Sustainable Development - Bridging Art and Science 

Movies created in HS 2020

In the autumn semester 2020, ETH4D together with NADEL, offered the course "Sustainable Development - Bridging Art and Science" for the second time. The idea of the course is to use movies as a means to communicate research to a wider audience, which is often challenging. Art can be a central tool for this.
Therefore, students are exposed to critical issues of global sustainable development through different movies. 

As a final project student-teams creates their own movie, linking a topic of their choice to one of the five 2030 Agenda dimensions. The awarded movies from 2020 deal with conflict & peace, child labour and ecological sustainability. Have a look at the awarded movies below:

Short Movie on Child Labour

As you stride through the streets of Banglore, India you might notice lots of children on the streets, many more than before Covid-19. Most of them have been sent to school not only for education but also for a hot meal and health care. During the on going pandemic schools all over the world have shut down which might end in almost 10 million children to never return to school. This made us question the effects education can have on child labour.
