Is your favourite city being ruined by people exactly like you?
A full lesson about overtourism, built around a real tension: everyone wants to see the same places, and the places are starting to show it. Students read a short piece, learn the language of crowds and complaint, and end by designing a rule for their own city.
The shop is still in testing, so we don't take real payments yet. Everything else already works: the cart, the checkout and the file you get right after buying.
Preview
The real preview will appear here as soon as the file is ready. For now, this is a placeholder.
