MENTOR ADVOCATES

Mentor Advocates are exceptional educators and leaders that have a proven track record working with schools and teachers to promote Education for Sustainable Development. They serve as official spokespersons for the Global Schools Program.

 

After going through a selection process, a training program, and the Advocates Program, Mentor Advocates are fully equipped with the knowledge of SDGs and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). They help transform learning environments, mobilize young people around the SDGs, and provide expertise to current Advocates working in communities globally.

"I am an early childhood educator. As a recipient of travel award and commendation by the World Organization for Early Childhood Education (OMEP) in Education for Sustainable Development in Early Years, I work directly with my young learners to provie hands-on experiences that teach sustainability. Focusing on the ESD pillars and each sustainable development goal has opened their eyes to their great abilities as problem solvers and potential agents of change.
