CLEVER – sustainable consumption

The CLEVER travelling exhibition raises young people’s awareness for sustainable consumption. Every day we make countless decisions about our diet: Do we eat meat or cook vegetarian? Organic or conventional? CLEVER provides answers so that young people can make better purchasing decisions.

Biovision seeks to raise awareness among the Swiss population, especially Swiss youth, about the impacts of their individual consumption habits on the health of humans, animals and the environment. Biovision does this in different ways: by presenting the travelling exhibition “CLEVER – sustainable consumption” and the CLEVER website, by offering project weeks at schools and colleges, and by providing continuing training for teachers. In addition to providing information about sustainable consumption, Biovision also offers concrete tips for improving individual consumption habits. Opening a Biovision office in Geneva will enable the project to take place in French-speaking Switzerland as of 2020.

On the website clever-konsumieren.ch (only available in French and German), teachers can also find teaching material based on school curricula that the national competence and service centre for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) has recommended.
