Action on Global Citizenship

Beschrijving

This toolkit aims to bridge the gap between Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Development Education (DE) through an environmental education perspective. It will give you some fun and creative ideas on how to get informed about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and create active global citizens and do your bit for the planet.

This toolkit is organized into 8 chapters, each with a different theme and strongly linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), or Global Goals as they are commonly referred to.

While you can certainly flip between chapters, it is recommended to start with Chapter 1 as it will provide a good introduction to Sustainable Development and allow you to explore the following chapters at your own pace. There are introduction activities, main activities and extensions in each chapter, with clearly marked Learning Outcomes, Cross-Curricular links and important Key Skills.

Contents cover:

1. Sustainable Development
2. Development
3. Ecological Footprint
4. Global Justice
5. Poverty and Inequality
6. Climate Change
7. Sustainable Communities
8. Campaigns
9. Reflection
