Before students watch a video about an innovative idea deployed in several US cities, they look at a related slogan and try to guess what the idea might be about. Then, they watch the video and focus on finding the answers to five specific questions. The listening practice is followed by a vocabulary exercise in which students analyse five extracts from the video and explain the meaning of the words and phrases in bold. Then, students exchange their views on the idea presented in the video. In the final stage of this lesson on global problems, the definition of ‘multi-stakeholder partnerships’ is introduced and students speculate about their role in tackling the world’s problems in the future. Working in groups, students choose one of the objectives from the list of issues presented earlier and discuss how a multi-stakeholder partnership could approach it. Using a set of questions as a guide, they pitch their ideas to other groups.
