The project consists of the exhibition design, production and graphic design of the travelling exhibition ‘Building a Sustainable Future’ for the ISCOD Foundation.

The exhibition is part of the project ‘FP+: Opportunity for the training of professionals responsible for sustainable development’, which aims to contribute to linking the world of work and formal vocational training in the Valencian Community with the commitment, defending and promoting the 2030 Agenda through communication for social transformation and ecofeminism linked to approaches to gender equality (SDG 5), decent work (SDG 8), responsible consumption (SDG 12) and environmental protection (SDG 13).

The project has involved the participation of four vocational training centres, through which the exhibition has travelled, showcasing the projects developed by the students of all of them: the Image and Sound Courses at IES la Marxadella (Torrent) and IES Henri Matisse (Paterna), the Environmental Education and Control Course at IES El Saler (El Saler) and the Tourism Course at CIPFP Mislata (Mislata).

The exhibition elements have been designed with durability and reusability for future exhibitions in mind, as well as ease of transport and adaptability to non-exhibition spaces.

Three modules of fold-out triptych panels stand out, displaying contextual and photographic content, along with two large folding tables with screens showing audiovisual content and a map showing the impact of the rise in global average temperature on the coast of the Valencian Community.

As a way of interacting with the public, the Global Citizenship Passport has been designed, a utopian passport for a world in which all people are equal across borders. Visitors to the exhibition can obtain a personalised passport with their identification, photograph and stamps.
