Promoting the SDGs Across the USA and the World

My students need posters depicting the UN Sustainable Development Goals, so that they (the posters) can be distributed to partner schools.

My Students

Rural Maine is not what you'd call cosmopolitan. However, my 8th graders are working hard to become more globally competent. They are learning to investigate the world, recognize perspectives, communicate with diverse audiences, and become confident action takers outside my classroom.

My students are encouraged to learn not just about the world, but also with, in, and for the world.

They are eager to collaborate, problem solve, and to embrace the idea that sometimes the best answer is more questions.

My Project

We're a class of 8th graders in Maine. We're studying the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs.)

One thing we've realized is that not enough people, both in the US and internationally, know about the SDGs.

Our plan is to purchase 100 posters (see our photo) to spread the word. We'll send 2 posters to a school in each of the 50 US states. Those schools will then display one of their posters in their school, but will be asked to send the second poster to a school overseas. This will be the beginning of US and overseas schools engaging in partnership projects pertaining to the SDG goals. My classes will begin a blog (with a map) tracking the journeys of all of the posters and all of the ensuing projects that emerge from these partnerships.

We're proud to be not only learning about the SDGs, but also taking action to promote them and encouraging global partnerships between schools.
