In my class, learning about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) goes beyond textbooks and discussions—it becomes a meaningful and creative journey. I want my students to understand that they have the power to make a difference, even at a young age. That’s why I design activities that not only teach the goals but also inspire them to take action and think about the world around them in new ways.
My students have created colorful posters, written powerful slogans, drawn comic stories, and even made short videos to promote the SDGs. We’ve done simple experiments to explore science-related goals and talked about real-life issues that matter to them. Each activity encourages them to express their thoughts, be creative, and work together as a team. These projects help them connect the global goals to their own lives, making learning more personal and impactful.
What makes me proud is seeing how engaged and passionate my students become during these activities. They take pride in their work and show a growing sense of responsibility toward their community and the world. Through these SDG projects, my class becomes not just a space for learning, but a space for hope, action, and young voices making a difference.
In my class, our SDGs poster-making activity focused on raising awareness about important global goals such as SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 14: Life Below Water, and SDG 15: Life on Land. My students created colorful and meaningful posters that showed the harmful effects of pollution, deforestation, global warming, and plastic waste on our environment. Some highlighted the need to protect marine life, while others emphasized caring for forests, animals, and taking action against climate change. It was a wonderful opportunity for my students to reflect on real-world problems and express their thoughts creatively. Through their artwork and short presentations, they showed not only understanding but also a strong desire to help make the Earth a better place.
For our SDG 6 activity, students created their own comic stories focused on the importance of saving water. Using four key vocabulary words—water, save, turn off, and help—they crafted creative and meaningful stories that showed simple ways everyone can protect this precious resource. Through their comics, they learned how small actions like turning off the tap while brushing teeth can help save water for the future. This activity encouraged my students to think about their daily habits and how they can be water-saving heroes in their homes and communities.
In our advocacy video project, my Grade 3 students explored important environmental goals—SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 14 (Life Below Water), and SDG 15 (Life on Land)—to raise awareness about protecting our planet. Through this project, they learned about the effects of climate change, pollution in oceans, and the importance of preserving forests and wildlife.
