You're looking to help your students become global citizens, critical problem solvers who value empathy and find their passions.
There's no need to memorize the SDGs. We train all eductors on Education for Sustainable Development (ESD).
We understand that time is scarce. We provide you with lesson plans and activities for all school levels in multiple languages.
Serving as an Advocate for Global Schools and the United Nations SDSN will equip you with the knowledge of sustainable development, including key educational frameworks and models, including Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Global Citizenship Education (GCE), and 21st Century Skills.
The program will also equip Advocates with the tools to help transform learning environments. The Advocates will serve as official spokespersons for Global Schools and serve as local Focal Points within schools to continue advocating for ESD within learning communities. The Advocates will serve a term from February to August 2021, with the option to extend their mandate. Advocates will be given access to other training opportunities and webinars during the months schools are on holiday.
