We can build an understanding of the entry into the Anthropocene from the study of the "great acceleration" post 1950, hence focus on approaches that allow us to understand the systemic nature of this phenomenon. For that purpose, we need to seek a way of teaching that would no longer be disciplinary and that would not focus on climate change exclusively. It is therefore essential, through a pedagogy by project, to make pupils / students understand the ethical and political stakes of the Anthropocene issues and thus to allow the decentering of views and approaches.
