Working together to achieve the Global Goals

Elementary, Middle

Description

This activity and discussion session helps students understand the importance of the United Nations Global Goals for Sustainable Development, which are to improve the quality of life for all people worldwide.

Students will begin by creating a list of basic needs to survive. They will complete seven different types of puzzles, each with a picture representing different theme areas from the Global Goals. This activity aims to demonstrate that, while some students have all they need, others may be lacking. The only way to complete all the puzzles is for everyone to work together. They will brainstorm ways in which we can work together to start achieving the Global Goals.
