Activity One - Describe

We often talk about the Sustainable Development Goals as if we know what all are as well as how we hope to achieve them. But what really are the Sustainable Development Goals and are they realistic to be be able to achieve? Watch the youtube clip below using videonot.es and make notes on:

• • • • • • • • • What the SDGs are.

                • How the Millennium Development Goals were successful.

                • What we can learn from the Millennium Development Goals?

                • What the social index is.

                • If the Sustainable Development Goals can be achieved.

Activity Two - Sustainable Development Goals

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

• • • • • • • • Goal Two - End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture

              • Goal Six - Clean Water and Sanitation

              • Goal Seven - Affordable and Clean Energy

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.

• • • 1. Write one sentence from the introduction of the goal which shows how it links to resource stewardship.

      2. Record two facts or figures linking the goal to resource stewardship.

      3. Describe three of the goals' targets that link to resource stewardship.

      4. Include two visualisations to show the achievements so far.

      5. Write two paragraphs to describe and explain the progress so far made towards meeting that SDG. 

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.
