Teaching our children how they can make a difference in the world has to be one of our most important roles as parents & teachers.
"The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests."
In my own search for useful & shareable resources related to teaching the Sustinable Development Goals, I came across these amazing comic posters which explain each of the goals in an easy to understand & child-friendly way. I reached out to Margreet de Heer, who created the comics & she very kindly sent me this document to share far & wide with parents & teachers. We hope that you will find them useful in your own classrooms, libraries, learning centres & homes.
