Making Connections
These examples by Giovanna, Paul and Lueji show how students used the SDGs to make connections to their passions and interests and to what bothers them about the world. They then used critical thinking skills to triangulate their top 3 ideas and use concepts to build up their focus. Following this they identified which transdisciplinary theme they would be working under and which SDG they connected with. They then asked questions based on the key concepts and together with a teacher they formed their lines of inquiry.
