The new generation is growing up in a context where sustainability and climate change (CC) are considered the “issues of our time”. In line with this, education plays a crucial role in raising awareness of CC among young people. However, one of the main challenges is showing CC’s effects, as they are often perceived as temporally and spatially distant, and many individuals struggle to visualise the real impact that CC’s consequences will have on the future world. The present study describes the co-design of a 360° video showing the effects of CC in familiar environments, conducted with a class of pre-teens. Co-design is a method that enables end-users, who are not trained in design, to work alongside professionals in creative processes. Moreover, participating in collaborative workshops reduces the distance between users and the topic addressed, enhancing their engagement and awareness of it. The results show that participants were satisfied with the developed content and enjoyed taking part in the co-design process. These findings suggest the potential of participatory workshops for developing 360° videos with students and provide a foundation for future investigations about their educational impact.
