Teaching the UN Global Goals Through a Systems Thinking Lens
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide all of us with a blueprint for building a more sustainable world- but how can we, as educators, help our learners make sense of these immense challenges? This short course will fortify your knowledge of the SDGs and provide you with specific activity plans so that you can confidently engage learners with these Global Goals. 

This course can be started and completed at any time. It includes 2-4 hours of guided activities that we believe can be modified for use with learners Grade 3 through adults.
