Activity Two - Sustainable Development Goals

We are going to focus on three main Sustainable Development Goals: 


Part One

The group is going to be divided into three teams which will then be given a specific goal to focus on. Each team will need to research and record the following points on LucidPress/ Google Drawing.



Part Two

Now each team has found the information and recorded it clearly on Lucidpress. Two of you are now going to be nominated as the experts from each team and they are to inform another team about what they have found. Those listening will take notes from the experts - this will be done on paper. Each team will rotate around the goals. Once the original teams are back together those who listened will become the experts and teach the original 'experts' the information.
