Resumen
THOSE PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES THAT CURRENTLY MAKE UP THE PLANETARY EMERGENCY SITUATION HAVE PROMPTED VARIOUS INITIATIVES TO PROMOTE AWARENESS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF SUSTAINABILITY, IN ALL AREAS. THIS INCLUDES THE POSITION OF HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS, COMMITTED TO LEARNING ETHICAL, SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL VALUES. INTEGRATING THESE CONTENTS AS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF UNDERGRADUATE TRAINING, TO INSPIRE RESPONSIBLE BEHAVIORS, VALUES AND ACTIONS IN FUTURE PROFESSIONALS AND PREPARE THEM FOR MAKING CONSCIOUS AND INFORMED DECISIONS. IN THE CURRENT STUDY PLANS OF THE VARIOUS DISCIPLINES, SUBJECTS RELATED TO ETHICS, SUSTAINABILITY AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY HAVE BEEN INCORPORATED, WHICH AS A WHOLE ARE PROVIDING THE BASES FOR GENERATING ECOLOGICAL AWARENESS IN STUDENTS. IN CURRENT EDUCATIONAL SETTINGS AND FROM AN APPROPRIATE PEDAGOGICAL APPROACH, STUDENTS CAN PROVIDE VIABLE SOLUTIONS IN THEIR CONTEXT, ALLOWING THEM TO DEVELOP A SYSTEMIC VISION OF REALITY AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF RESPONSIBLY INFLUENCING THEIR ENVIRONMENT. TO RAISE AWARENESS FROM THE CLASSROOMS, THIS EXPERIENCE PROPOSES A MODEL OF PEDAGOGICAL PRACTICE, IN WHICH THIRD-YEAR DESIGN STUDENTS FACE SUSTAINABLE PROBLEMS, RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT THEM.

THE OBJECT / PRODUCT TO BE PACKAGED IS CHOSEN BY THE STUDENTS ACCORDING TO THEIR TENDENCIES AND MOTIVATION. THE METHODOLOGY ADDRESSED IN THIS PROJECT FOCUSES ON THE CONCEPTS USED IN BIOMIMICRY, THROUGH WHICH STUDENTS ANALYZE AND APPLY PACKAGING SOLUTIONS, OBSERVED IN NATURE, IN THE DEFINITION OF THEIR PROBLEM.
