The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Global Innovators teaches a Design thinking process to build empathy and develop solutions for real-world challenges, such as those reflected in the SDGs.

Empathise

Learn. Think. Act for a better world The SDGs are 17 global goals created by the United Nations in 2015 to make the world fairer, safer, and greener by 2030.

Each goal focuses on an important challenge that belongs to everyone: governments, communities, schools, and you.

Define

Why do they matter?

The SDGs help people work together to: • Protect the environment • End inequality and poverty • Improve education and health • Build peace and strong communities • Create a future that is sustainable for all

Ideate

The 17 Goals Brainstorm freely. Imagine creative ways you could support one or more of these goals in your own life or classroom.

Prototype

What can you do?

• Take action: How can I help today?

With Global Innovators, you are learning to understand others, solve problems creatively, and become a changemaker for a better world.
