End of Project Updates
Over the past week, classes of students from all across the world have been sharing their final #GoalsProject projects showing how they are working to make change for the planet and its people through actions for the Global Goals!
Students have composed and performed songs, created school-wide and community-wide campaigns, developed and programmed online games, and researched and reported. We have seen stop-motion videos, neighborhood clean-ups, beach clean-ups, bake sales, and clothing and food drives; students have shared PSAs, skits, art projects, inventions, and experiments. They have conducted interviews, written letters, marched in streets, and raised their voices. These students speak of diversity, equality, climate change, and clean energy. They are working for change, and with smiles and laughter and passion and grit, they are teaching the world through action and shared humanity.
Though our #GoalsProject is coming to an end, the work in supporting students to engage through curiosity, resolve, and ACTION is just beginning.
This final update is an invitation to continue the work you have started and to make this whole year a YEAR OF TAKING ACTION!
