“If you haven't heard of the Global Goals yet, you will soon...why should you care? Because the last time the world did something like this, it saved millions of lives”

We want to encourage prioritization of the goals in their lifestyles, behaviors, education and professional careers, as these goals provide a framework for a better world that children could live in the future. This project ims to do this by transforming learning environments globally and making schools the hubs of education and leadership on SDGs, ultimately becoming vehicles for empowering and mobilizing students and young people to help implement the SDGs in their communities and take action to tackle community problems that they are concerned about.
The SDGs are a plan for a better world.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 objectives - negotiated and agreed to by all 193 world governments in 2015 - to end extreme poverty, achieve decent work for all, promote justice, peace and prosperity, and protect the natural environment from human-caused harms.
Highlighting both challenges and opportunities for the next 11 years, they are a practical tool for governments, institutions, local communities, civil society organisations and businesses to work together towards a common and clear set of targets.
Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.
- Nelson Mandela
