CAS Project Ideas

Why don't you pick an International Day (observed by the UN) and plan a whole school event?

Or alternatively, have a think about which of the SDG's you feel strongly about and would like to promote?

7. The UN Sustainable Development Goals.mp4




The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 goals defined by the United Nations to tackle the world's biggest problems by 2030.

The goals form a useful lens through which to look at the most pressing global issues. Hundreds of millions of people don't have enough food to eat; women still earn less than men and have fewer rights; plant and animal species are rapidly vanishing; and the gap between rich and poor is indeed getting wider.

More than 40 per cent of the global population are between the ages of ten and 24 – the largest youth population ever. To solve the world's problems, the next generation needs to know what those problems are. A good way to ensure this is to teach them about the SDGs.

Here are some websites to promote further thought...
