Meet Inayah
Age: 13 Country: United Arab Emirates What is one resource you recommend to other young people? https://vofg.vofgarabia.org/books What are your two favorite SDGs? - SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities - SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals What are three words that describe what the Global Goals mean to you: 1. Powerful 2. Inspiring 3. Meaningful |
Objective 3: What will your Class #GoalsProject project be?
Within your group, your class has one dedicated Global Goal. You and your students are invited “to meet” this Goal through a process of inquiry (invite students to ask questions, share perspectives, engage in discussion and research) and create a CLASS PROJECT around the Goal.
All ideas are welcome! Some classes may choose to create a presentation, a story, a video, a collection of photos, an art project, a song, an invention, a Minecraft world, a social good campaign, a mock city, a garden, an eBook, and on and on! You and your students will be guided during Weeks 3-5 to work on and develop the project. [Examples from 2019 HERE, 2021 HERE, 2022 HERE, 2023 HERE, 2024 HERE]
Final projects will be shared during Week 6 via Padlet for your group. Note: it is okay if your class needs a little extra time), so in the end you will need to have a shareable link or file (e.g. YouTube video link, Google folder, PDF, etc).
This week, explore different ideas for projects. Research your SDG online, consider local and global needs, check out past projects for inspiration.
Please share updates on your Week 2 Padlet board (check with your facilitator for the link) and on social media by using the project hashtag #GoalsProject! We love seeing the videos, photos, and messages of students taking action for people and planet through the Goals!
Looking ahead:
