Bringing the SDGs into the classroom
The UN's SDG board game teaches learners about sustainable development in a fun and engaging way.
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the world’s largest “to-do list” for bringing about change for people, our planet and our collective prosperity. It has become imperative to explore and acknowledge how young people define their role and how they want to contribute towards the achievement of the SDGs.
UN Namibia’s ‘SDG Game’ session with a group of competitive grade seven learners turned into a spirited and fun learning exercise. With the group activity instilling an instinctive feel for principles of sustainability principles. The learners found the exercise meaningful and suggested that an additional expansion pack for more questions and greater challenges be added.
In this introductory chapter of the SDG game, a classroom discussion connected learners to more information on the 17 goals, and the 169 targets and concluded with a call for young people to lead the change as underscored by the UN’s call for a Decade of Action.
