Abstract

Sustainability is a very common word today. Despite its popularity, it is a surprisingly complex concept. Environmental education faces the challenge of helping children to understand sustainability. Fostering imagination, rational and emotional understanding and fun, theater can support environmental educators in this purpose. This work describes the process that led to the creation of a theater performance for children on the topic of sustainable fish consumption. The results demonstrate the positive role of theater in communicating complex environmental messages to children.
