Sustainability has ceased to be a passing trend to become an essential commitment in large and even small companies that reflect their responsibility to the environment and the future. In this sense, the commitment to sustainability is a commitment to ourselves, and to the care of our planet, which is facing the challenge of climate change, which is ravaging our planet with an insatiable voracity.

IKEA is a clear example of this vision: with functional and accessible designs that bring aromas of home and respect for our environment. But to learn all about this vision we have today in Generation EdTech the head of sustainability of IKEA in Catalonia, Guillem Bargalló. Guillem is also the director of Bien Social, a media specialized in sustainable projects and companies and has also participated in the well-known TedX talks.

Childhood is, for those of us who were lucky enough to live it happily, a refuge to which we always return and which we remember with affection and, why not, with a touch of nostalgia. But that happy childhood is not guaranteed, neither in the world nor, of course, in Spain. That is where the work of UNICEF comes in, possibly one of the best known agencies of the United Nations, which is concerned with defending the rights of children around the world.
