Lesson Plans
"In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It's their normal life. But in other parts of the world, we are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond…"
- Malala Yousafzai
Do you want to teach about SDGs but do not have any idea how to start?
Start here! The following lesson plans offer structured and comprehensive guidelines and activities to help schools and teachers educate students about the Sustainable Development Goals. These plans have been developed by professors from leading education institutions, including Harvard University. These lesson plans are extremely easy to use and integrated well into existing global curricula. The plans can be adopted by any educators including you!
A solid example from Pricewaterhouse Cooper United Arab Emirates (PwC UAE):
PwC UAE conducted a small number of one-hour long interactive classes with the pupils. The children also took part in lively debates among themselves and with their teachers about why each of the SDGs is important.
The results of the pilot found 78% of children said they now felt more confident to talk to people about SDGs outside school, and 92% of children said they cared more about social and environmental issues after learning about the SDGs.
