Suggested audience: secondary-school learners. Time: 40–50 minutes. Materials: paper, pens and the SDG icons on this website.
Learning aim: learners can explain the purpose of the SDGs, identify goals 3, 4 and 17, and suggest a practical action linked to one goal.
- Warm up · 5 minutes: ask learners what makes a community a good place to live and learn.
- Explore · 10 minutes: introduce the 17 SDGs. Discuss how health, education and partnerships connect.
- Work together · 15 minutes: small groups select a local challenge and match it to one or more goals. Each group proposes a manageable action and identifies who could help.
- Share · 10 minutes: groups explain their idea, who would benefit and how they would know it made a difference.
- Reflect · 5 minutes: each learner writes one new idea and one question they still have.
Make participation inclusive.
