Students broke off into groups. Each group researched their energy type and wrote a short script to share in our FlipGrid video. We are going to share the video with our school and community to continue the conversation about energy sources.
Group 5 (age 6-9) USA After reading a book about an island in Denmark that became energy sufficient with clean energy sources, we were encouraged to check out some solar and wind energy options.
Group 10 (age 6-9) SERBIA We already have experience in composting and recycling of batteries. The wind energy was something new we worked with children. At first, we discussed about renewable energy related to composting and recharging of batteries. Than we watched video about windmills.

Group 25 (age 9-12) USA The class began to brainstorm as a class, their understanding of our goal, then their ideas for our playground, and playgrounds they'd seen. They took their bubbling thoughts to their Seesaw journal to talk and get them out. Next, we sketched on paper, then drew on Seesaw those specific designs, along with a voice recording and written description of their handicap accessible playground designs. The teacher and I saved their Seesaw drawing to a folder on Google Drive, and had the class add this folder to each of their drives. Then we had each student create a Book Creator book, and import their drawing/design. They recorded their voice, typed descriptions, added more drawings from other angles, and further descriptions of their designs. The teacher and I combined their individual books into one class eBook, and had two students create the pages with descriptions of our process, and our Next Steps.
Group 30 (age 12-15) MALI The girls made google slides.
Group 32 (age 12-15) ITALY Students searched the web for resources in the form of documents, videos and texts. Paths on which it was discussed were analyzed and prepared.

We used these posters at the Fishers Public Library where we hosted a booth all day on September 28th. At our "How To Advocate for the Global Goals" booth, we also passed out many #GlobalGoals bracelets our last year's class designed and Dum Dums suckers, each labeled with a Global Goal sticker. Many students came and helped set up and run our booth. We showed our video at the library. We passed out cards with QR codes that took you to the global goals website Goal 9. We informed over 100 people about the problems in the world and Goal 9 during the Public Library How-To Festival. Our video was posted on Twitter and YouTube and sent to our French penpals, our school, and our community.

Group 29 (age 12-15) USA PRACTICAL SOLUTIONS THAT VIRTUALLY ANY STUDENT CAN START DOING!!
Group 33 (age 12-15) ITALY LESSON DESCRIPTION: Students will work in teams to develop posters of the various global goals and goal n.10 in particular. Students will gather and examine elements of an informational poster to learn about what makes a good poster. They will brainstorm lists of different kinds of activities to accomplish with posters creation and then use the ideas to create the final project about Goal 10.
Group 42 (age 12-15) USA Students worked in one of the four groups we chose: disabilities, LBGTQ, poverty, and race. They were VERY passionate about the groups they chose and were challenged to find a focus for the project. Three groups made a podcast and one made a mini website. We learned a lot about disabilities and also working in groups, planning, and revising. We still need to work on revision, but we have a completed podcast from our disabilities group. We shared the podcast with the Superintendent of our district and the students will be participating in a podcast with the Superintendent for Disabilities Awareness Month.
Group 50 (age 15-18) USA Our project has been to advocate for reducing inequalities around our school by painting our school's ceiling tiles with statistics or images relating to inequalities and how to prevent them as an individual.
Group 56 (age 9-12) USA Google Slideshow.
Group 1 (7-12 year olds) MALAYSIA Our country got problem by haze. We think its our responsibility to take part for the solution in community's health in this period. So, we did a social campaign call Save the Air : Face Mask Contribution for our communities.
Group 2 (age 3-6) USA The kindergarteners chose a campaign to inform their schoolmates about why they don't like the litter on the playground. They made posters for the doors leading out to the playground, they recorded videos of each other for the middle schoolers (our schedules didn't match up for face to face 'lectures'!) and made an announcement at their lunch (K-2). They have been vigilant about monitoring the playground and cleaning up when they see trash.
Group 10 (age 6-9) SERBIA We decided to make a city model:first we made a model of a polluted city, and the children had a task to make it sustainable!
Group 10 (age 6-9) SERBIA At the beginning we were discussing about all 17 SDG goals to awaken consciousness about importance of having in mind of these goals if we want to save our planet Earth. Our goal was SDG 11 and children were the most interested in public green spaces.

Group 13 (age 9-12) USA We first researched sustainable communities in general. Then we split into groups to do further research in the areas of housing, trees, parks, sustainable water supply, farming, community gardens, and sustainable transportation and energy. Each group created one or more slides for our presentation. We also decided to build a model of what we thought a sustainable city would look like. To build our model we used many materials that otherwise would have gone into the trash, like cereal boxes, sporks from our lunches, and shipping boxes.
Group 17 (age 9-12) TURKEY We thought about the effects of plastic pollution, specially at the seaside. Together with our students we decided to do a beach clean-up. By doing this we though we'd help decrease the amounth of plastic that goes into our seas and creates pollution as well as setting example fot the others.
Group 18 (age 9-12) INDIA Our global goals class are an excited lot when it comes to speaking about the pressing issues where they live and how they can make lives of people who are not so fortunate, better. We do have a big slum right behind our school and students from our school do indulge in donation drives and other charitable causes to help them in their situation. By looking at our lifestyles and talking about the kind of pressure we are putting on our environment, students tried make digital posters and ppt to share.
Group 19 (age 9-12) USA Students created a news show to inform of important points of SDG 11. They worked in teams to create the news report, the slide show, and the model of the sustainable city.
Group 28 (age 9-12) INDIA OBJECTIVES OF GOAL11 IN CLASS 1)Introducing Sustainable development of goal to students, Teachers and Parents 2)Took Drawing Compitetion on sustainable logos 3)Plant trees on public places for greenary and over pollution 4)Make seedlings and throw it on the roadsides for better community. 5)Enjoyed to learn Traffic rules through singing songs.
Group 33 (age 12-15) USA Group of 6th grade students at Renaissance Secondary in Castle Rock, CO worked on #11 Sustainable Cities. They worked collaboratively to prototype a city that would flourish in a particular region in the Western Hemisphere, taking into consideration the climate and local issues facing that area. They will continue their work with this goal and plan to make an impact locally in their own community.
Group 37 (age 12-15) CANADA slideshows, videos, drawings, posters, charts in a Padlet.
Group 38 (age 15-18) USA My high school students are developing a lesson that they will teach to a 2nd Grade classroom to help them identify what a sustainable city looks like. The lesson will start with two students teaching what sustainable communities look like. Three students are building Minecraft villages to show poor structure, an okay structure, and a sustainable structure. Students will build houses, roads, green spaces, and even public transportation to show what a sustainable community looks like. The final part of the lesson is to have students play a game to see how many people they can have survive by trying to get to "sustainable practices" on the game board.
Group 41 (age 12-15) USA Community Clean-up
Group 42 (age 12-15) USA We have decided to do something related to the possibly dangerous algae problem that is developing on our local lake, Peach Lake. Fellow students and teachers live along this lake, and it is a focal point of recreation and beauty in our community; however, blue-green algae has been a growing problem in our area as it is toxic to animals and people, and Peach Lake may have signs that the algae there is becoming worse, possibly including blue-green algae. We would like to find out more about the health of our lake and then somehow inform people along the lake and in our community about what we can do to help clean it up. This will be an ongoing project for the next few months.
Group 43 (age 15-18) USA My students did quite a bit of exploration and research to learn about Goal 11, then they constructed a model to represent a Green Space that they thought would meet the targets of Goal 11. All 23 students contributed to this project.
Group 47 (age 15-18) USA Research, write, and produce a compelling video report on sustainable cities and communities. Attached is an introduction of our school and television production facilities.

Group 1 (age 3-6) USA When we learned that the big kids at our school were not doing a good job at recycling, we learned as much as we could and created a "Recycling Rap" and Google Slides Presentation to try to make a positive change.
Group 3 (age 6-9) THAILAND Our class project was based on experiential learning and inquiry as the children were not aware (due to their age) of the meaning of consumption and production. We had an amazing learning journey that led the kids to identify the excessive production of plastic in their community, and propose a solution: take the school into a sustainable path by creating a reusable/metal cup that will decrease the consumption of plastic.
Group 8 (age 6-9) CAMBODIA Goal 12 - Our goal was responsible consumption and production. We decided to focus on the food in our cafeteria. We interviewed the staff and found most of the food is produced in Cambodia which we thought was better than importing food from other countries. We were shocked that so much food is wasted and we asked many other students in the cafeteria why they left food. The main reasons seemed to be that children were given too much food, they didn’t like it or they didn’t have enough time to eat it all. We made a video for ISPP TV encouraging people to ask for “just a bit” and then go back for more if they like the food to try and reduce the waste we create.
Group 10 (age 6-9) ALBANIA We took act on goal 12.5.1 "Substantially reduce waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse". We decided to stop using plastic bottles and bags on the daily use. Students took action on buying glass bottles or other ecologic chooses for the daily meal. We recycled all the plastic we gathered.
Group 16 (age 9-12) INDIA All the Students created posters and did an Awareness Campaign ; One Student - Ronit Mathew wrote a poem and created posters and did Awareness Campaign
Group 17 (age 9-12) USA We looked at some of the different targets involved in our goal. Students worked in teams to research more about them and made a slideshow as a group.
Group 18 (age 9-12) INDIA Our class debated about the way people consume and what will the result of that. We started off small talking about just owning a cotton shirt and what goes behind in producing a shirt. They went around school to see what were the patterns and were shocked to find out the amount that was being wasted. This was a learning they took back and are spreading the message in their communities.
Group 22 (age 9-12) USA Students created a video to bring awareness to their goal; including the targets written by the UN.
Group 23 (age 9-12) ITALY Our class project is called The Trash we pass Through brainstorming and discussions, we found useful to make a sort of Olympic Games , focusing on reducing consumption of paper, plastic, water, energy, food. Pupils are working in groups. Each group will work on good routines, with some good habits to improve. Each group will be responsible of checking and helping schoolmates to improve reducing.
Group 26 (age 9-12) USA Students researched, designed, created, and presented a self sustainable neighborhood that focused on responsible production and consumption.
Group 37 (age 12-15) MALAYSIA Recycling fabric waste and change it to something creative environment.

Group 40 (age 12-15) TURKEY eTwinning is an excellent platform that connects schools around the world.My class is involved in a project called “Zero Waste” related to SDGs. Zero Waste; It is a goal defined as waste management philosophy which includes preventing waste, minimizing waste generation by reviewing the reasons of waste generation, collecting separately at source and providing recovery in case of waste. We aimed to make them aware of the assessment in the fields. Objectives: 1- To gain recycling awareness 2- To be able to realize that wastes are recycled differently. 3- To be able to raise generations. 4- To be able to produce products from waste materials. 5- To be able to educate environmentally sensitive students. 6- To raise awareness to prevent waste. 7- To learn how to use natural resources efficiently. 8- Use Web 2.0 tools.
Group 41 (age 12-15) USA Each student explored an idea of interest and created a poster to hang in the school to inform others about responsible production and consumption.
Group 41 (age 12-15) USA The 3rd period class worked on informing others about what this goal is all about, and some solutions that anyone could do everyday to try to work on the goal.
Group 1 (3-6 year olds) TURKEY We prepared poster with groups. First, they watched videos about the climate change. We colored the pictures and sticked them on the poster. They categorized the pictures. They shared their ideas about what they can do for happy earth.
Group 3 (age 6-9) USA Our class explored Global Goal 13, Climate Action, and what is happening to our world daily. We looked at our impact on Global Warming at school. We used design thinking and the LAUNCH cycle to create our own school campaign. Our students decided to track how much plastic we use at snack time at school. They found that our school produces 155 one gallon bags a week of plastic trash during snack time. Students also researched how plastic contributes to climate change. They used their collected plastic to create campaign posters to hang in our school. They also created a movie with the images of from posters.
Group 6 (age 6-9): USA For our project our learners worked in small groups to create informational videos to teach and persuade others to take action towards climate change! We have four different projects to share: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOlDaZYvZSQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0GL26f9fnU&disable_polymer=true https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADMSxD-rsU4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVMiEl_geOQ&disable_polymer=true
Group 7 (age 6-9) USA We learned about the UN Sustainable Development Goals, then Climate Action by reading about Greta Thunberg, listening to her Ted Talk, thinking about how she inspires us and doing individual projects to share her message about action needed for climate change. Then we did our own climate action march with signs around our school and in our schoolyard on Friday 9/27 after we saw images of marches from all over the world.
Group 10 (age 6-9) SERBIA Group one was talking where are we from, the name of our country, city, kindergarten and group. Group two was draving simbols of our famous Town hall, and group three was coloring our Town hall. At the ebd we made a video where we combined our work with the children.
Group 13 (age 9-12) USA Students choose one idea to focus on and designed a solution to support our goal. We made a paper chain of all of our solutions.

Group 10 (age 6-9) USA Our students conducted research about how pollution, erosion, and other issues are affecting our beaches and marine life. They created Pic Collage posters to explain their research, which we later added into Apple Clips to create the video. We also created "Puppet Pals" videos in Seesaw, but didn't include those in the video.
Group 11 (age 6-9) USA The children decided to create posters (on the computer) to help people to be aware of this topic and encourage them to be part of the solution.
Group 11 (age 6-9) USA The students created bracelets - using hair ties and recycled plastic bags. Since we could not make a bracelet for all GoalsProject participants (like we wish we could do), a video was created to teach others how to make them on their own. We made our bracelets blue for Life Below Water, but we discussed that it would be fun to make bracelets of different colors as well.
Group 13 (age 9-12) USA We have several. We are doing a podcast that will give hints and information about conserving marine life and resources. We are also doing a campaign to recycle plastic and save marine animals. We have posters that will be hung around recycling bins.

They are also planning on placing a filter on the sewage top to prevent plastics from slipping down through the top.
Group 17 (age 9-12) USA Informational slideshow broken up by target. Students did a little research and worked together as teams to find information.
Group 24 (age 9-12) USA Students approached the goal as an inquiry project to determine the benefits provided by the oceans and the issues it faces. They then came up with plans for how they (individually and collectively) could best help. The attached slideshow shows our process and projects.
Group 27 (age 9-12) CANADA We had students break into small groups and create projects. This is just one of many.
Group 29 (age 12-15) SPAIN My students learned about Goal 14 and designed some bookmarks about it.

New River (local water source) Clean Up Field Trip (we wrote a grant but haven't received funding yet)
Group 42 (age 12-15) USA Students worked in teams to create different campaigns to inform people of the problem as well as potential solutions.
Group 42 (age 12-15) USA Students worked in teams to create different campaigns to inform people of the problem as well as potential solutions.
Group 43 (age 15-18) USA Our class project is a Geo-Inquiry Story of Goal 14. We divided into 3 small groups to explore what is polluting our rivers (locally) and seas (globally), the issues of over fishing and the implementation governmental and non-governmental efforts to combat these issues and fund clean up, more sustainable practices and conservation efforts. Students did a great job exploring the complex scales and perspectives of Goal #14 and how human actions have either helpful or harmful effects on our natural world. They definitely saw connection to this goal and other SDGs (such as responsible consumption and life on land) and just how much products, practices and perspectives of culture influence this goal. Plastic is such as globally used/ accessible product and we are challenging our current practices around the world. This is especially true in the United States where we live in a fast-paced culture of convenience. This project helped my students see the value in questioning our single use plastics habits and how our current lifestyle choices could be the root of our current crisis at sea! This project really helped my students open their eyes to the interconnected of the human and nature world and was a great springboard to other units we will study this year that address global challenges. My hope is that my students can see themselves as agents of change and we can take some of the doom and gloom out of these issues and inspire positive action in our future!
Group 44 (age 15-18) INDIA We have 5 divisions and each class has taken up a topic and students will brainstorm and create projects on the same: 1. 4A - oil spills 2.4B- Ocean clean up 3. 4C- Coral reef 4. 4D- Plastic pollution and floods 5. 4E- Extinct of aquatic animals

Group 6 (age 6-9) INDIA My class worked on various small projects- using plastic containers as planters, arching about environmental problems like Amazon fires, creating presentations and pic collages.
Group 7 (age 6-9) USA Our students learned how to take care of life on land, and what happens if we don't take care of it. They used their creative voices to share their learning with the world using Buncee.
Group 8 (age 6-9) USA Creating a song about respecting the land and its' inhabitants.
Group 9 (age 6-9) USA A bulletin board of ways to help life on land. We will also be planting a tree in spring.
Group 17 (age 9-12) FINLAND Ebooks about our local forest
Group 19 (age 9-12) USA Students have begun to create digital posters demonstrating their understanding of Global Goal 15: Life on Land. Editing and poster completion are to come.
Group 28 (age 9-12) KOREA Our group decided to split up and produce two unique projects to showcase their understanding of Goal #15: Life on Land. The first group created a great padlet that included lots of research into endangered animals here in Korea and how we can help them. The second group wanted to find ways to reduce our paper use at school to help with deforestation. They did a lot of research and conducted various interviews. They have created a presentation of their work so far but still want to continue working on the project.
Group 32 (age 12-15) USA We worked to learn how we can protect the forest around our school. We made a website with a series of videos about our goal, community, and action we want to take. We have a nature trail in the woods and want to preserve it as a natural habitat. Our goal is to have it certified as a National Wildlife Federation habitat. We still have to build shelters, ensure a local water source, and get funding for this part of the project.
Group 47 (age 15-18) CANADA Independent research of various topics relating to forestry; deforestation, wildfires, habitat loss, etc.
Group 50 (age 15-18) USA The students created a club that will pursue many different possible goals.
Group 57 (age 9-12) ARGENTINA Our students created a song “Change with Us” to raise awareness about the importance of this goal. Kids wrote the lyrics and together with our Singing teacher they composed the music. They recorded their voices and played different instruments. They also prepared some posters to share their thoughts on the topic. We are submitting a video that shares the song, the posters and the making process.
Group 58 (age 6-9) USA Our goal was to educate others about deforestation, why it is a problem, and how we can help.
Group 3 (age 6-9_ CANADA Learning about how strong institutions play a role in our communities. Looking at the plight of refugees who are forced to leave their home and how they have the right to live in a community that is peaceful, just and has strong institutions. Students studied an article about refugees from Syria that came to live in Canada and the precious keepsakes they brought with them. Students then created a flat lay photo to connect their learning to the precious keepsakes in their life.
Group 6 (age 6-9) USA We created an iMovie describing what peace meant to us.
Group 8 (age 6-9) USA We wrote and illustrated a book highlighting friendship, kindness and love. We hope that others will make their own books about their schools/strong institutions.
Group 9 (age 6-9) CANADA We had to have a lot of discussions about what exactly Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions are so we made an anchor chart to help us remember our discussions. Something that really resonated with the students is how some children do not get to go to school. We discussed that there are a number of reasons why this is including fear for the children's safety. We discussed Malala and what she stood for and we ultimately decided that we wanted to help spread peace and justice within our community and around the world. We thought about where to start and figured we needed to start locally first - at our school. We discussed what kind of conflict we face at our school compared to children from other places around the world. We then decided we needed to educate the students from our school about ways to problem solve in peaceful ways and also how we can help other children live more peacefully as well. We decided to hold "A day for Peace and Justice" at our school. We want to support UNICEF world children's day and hold an assembly to educate students from our school about the conflict that children around the world are facing and hold a bake sale to raise money to donate to the organization. We plan to continue to promote peaceful problem solving around the school all year long and will continue to come up with ways to raise money to promote peace and justice around the world.

We completed data sheets to record the types and amounts of trash collected, which will be reported to Surfrider, using their online data input tool. In addition, we used the trash to create "found object art" in the sand. We entered the #SurfriderFound photo contest to help raise awareness of the need for clean oceans!
Group 36 (age 12-15) GERMANY In order to let the class come to a common action plan we carried out the project in different steps: 1. Understanding the Global Goals (team activities in the class, during a short class trip into the forest, Global Goals icons hanged in the class at the end) 2. Investigating the local community (students focused on a Goal and discussed issues in the local community, mapped the community and carried out interviews to find out if there were any solutions, students visited institutions and some experts were invited at school) 3. Students worked in groups to exchange ideas 4. Students decided to take part in many actions in the local community, partly organised by themselves with support of other institutions (Lauf gegen Rassismus, climate weeks, conferences at the University, etc.) 5. Students discussed action plans and started to realize a few projects at school and outside it, asking for cooperation from other local institutions, parents, teachers, individual and other stakeholders: plastic free, plant a tree in the forest, collect chestnut for the animals in the forest, ride a bike, etc.
