LEAVING NO-ONE BEHIND
TEACHING RESOURCES |
This area provides a snapshot into some of the teaching and learning activities developed in our schools, to introduce young people to the Sustainable Development Goals and give them a sense of agency and purpose in these challenging times. Some activities are short and simple. Some take place over a longer time-frame, or are designed to give mainstream students a deeper awareness of global issues and the challenges faced by minority groups in society.
These activities provide a starting point to raise awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals and the interconnected nature of our world.
By engaging with real life issues, providing safe spaces for dialogue and enquiry and supporting young people to take locally-based action, we can help make sense of the world around them, raising personal motivation and achievement. We hope you will find ideas that you can adapt to your own context.
