WE AND THE SDG'S 

International SDGs Collaborative Project Cohort V - Session II

On October 2 2023, the International SDGs Collaborative Project Cohort V reconvened for its second session, themed "SDG2SaveTheWorld." During this session, students from participating countries presented their problem statements to their international counterparts. They not only shared their individual problem statements but also conducted a comparative analysis of the identified issues, exploring both similarities and differences.

Students will now  collaborate to identify the root causes, assess the issues' intensity and explore their impact on local communities. Several schools highlighted challenges related to SDG1, including issues such as begging, lack of education, financial constraints faced by parents and the absence of quality schools offering vocational training.

The next session is scheduled for October 16, 2023. During this meeting, students will share their reflections and provide valuable feedback on the current session's proceedings.

Climate change is happening. This debate is over. When Earth will finally give up, we will know how important it was to us. But I have a dream - in 100 years Earth is green, and we thrive on this magnificent planet of ours. The ‘stop’ button is still here. Learn how to click it while you can.

Take Action Global (TAG) is delighted to welcome Delhi Public School Lava Nagpur India to the Climate Action Schools community. Climate Action Schools is a new global network that connects educators and students ages 5-18 to explore the causes and effects of climate change, develop solutions, and take action together. 

Young people worldwide are witnessing climate change and want to take action. They understand the power of collective action and of the integral role that they play in creating change at a global level. There is an urgent need to provide more opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to come together in cross-cultural exchange for dialogue, shared experience, and action. Climate Action Schools seeks to meet this need. 

“Climate education has an important role to tackle climate change on a global scale. It informs students, takes away climate anxiety, and brings important skills to a classroom including empathy, creativity, and problem-solving. Climate Action Schools will allow teachers to be trained and students to showcase their efforts on a global scale.” shares program co-founder, Koen Timmers.

Delhi Public School, Lava, Nagpur, India will take action during this 10-month, school-wide climate education learning experience, that will include educator certifications and an online Community of Practice, cross-curricular resources, guided school-wide data collection, school-to-school international virtual exchanges, and a student-led school-wide climate project.

WRINKLES ARE GOOD....... NO IRON DAY

CLIMATE CORRECTION DAY

The initiative's catchy tagline, "Wah!!! Wrinkles achche hote hain!!!" Translates to "Wow!!! Wrinkles look good!!!"
