ARE YOU AN ORGANIZATION?

Written by

In this space you can share comments and analysis on the challenges of the 2030 Agenda and resources to accompany young generations in the Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship Education. Our materials are available for free download in 12 languages.

Youth groups and civil society organizations involved in formal and non-formal education can find activities addressing the global challenges of today’s teenagers. They will also find ideas for awareness-raising actions aimed at introducing sustainability and global/local development goals to their communities.

Teachers’ organisations can find a wide range of teaching and learning resources, an innovative textbook on the global history of humanity and pedagogical guides by UNESCO. The sharing of materials among members will complement professional development.

Networks of school administrators and parent organisations can find ideas and a guide aimed at making their school communities more sustainable, global and inclusive.

Research organisations can examine the learning assessment tools designed and tested along the implementation of the Get up and goals! project. Such tools are meant to measure the effectiveness of our Global Citizenship Education activities and to support teachers in assessing students’ progress, knowledge, competences and abilities to face the challenges of the present and future world.

ARE YOU A SCHOOL ADMINISTRATOR?

Welcome!

Get up and goals! offers tools to support schools in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Schools play a crucial role to achieve Goal 4 of the 2030 Agenda – Ensure inclusive equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all

And also, of target 4.7

By 2030, ensure that all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including, among others, through education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship and appreciation of cultural diversity and of culture’s contribution to sustainable development

Which is considered fundamental for the success of the Agenda.

Furthermore, schools must deal with many of the effects of the big global issues mentioned in the 2030 Agenda (above all, inequalities), while also remaining at the heart of the educational system in all communities.

Schools can take the following steps in order to actively work towards a sustainable development:

  • Strengthening the relationship with local communities, taking action and networking with associations, universities, institutions and other stakeholders so to create an environment of consistent support for all students;
  • Embedding Global Citizenship Education in all aspects of the students’ learning process (including learning environments). Teaching and learning will then become means to understand the present, to imagine solutions for the future and to learn how to get by in a society;
  • Using the assessment tools to carefully monitor the school progress in the implementation of the Global Citizenship Education and Education for Sustainable Development in its programs;
  • Actively promoting paper and plastic recycling, food waste reduction and the creation of green areas in the school environment;
  • Appreciating and celebrating diversity and overcoming racism, xenophobia, and prejudices.

Get up and goals! has created a Guide for sustainable and global schools aimed at helping schools in the implementation and systematisation of such steps.

All partners of Get up and goals! are available to support schools in this process in the 12 countries involved in the project

Last but not least, to learn more about Global Citizenship Education and related matters, please, visit our Library.

ARE YOU A STUDENT?

Written by

Agenda 2030 is a charter for people and planet in the twenty-first century. Children and young women and men are critical agents of change and will find in the new Goals a platform to channel their infinite capacities for activism into the creation of a better world (Preamble Resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 25 September 2015)

Welcome!

Would you like to know how climate change works and how we can stop it? How inequalities develop? If they are inevitable? What pushes people to migrate? How can gender norms affect inequalities between men and women? What actually is sustainable development?

Understanding such big issues can be a very stimulating activity and can help us linking our everyday life with relevant global events. It can show us how subjects such as economics, geography, history or physics can become important tools to help us answer the questions of the present times.

Global Citizenship Education brings this type of reflections - and many others - in the school programs, making them more participatory, connected to the big global issues of the present, and capable of stimulating changes in our behaviours. 

Through our resources we want to help you think over sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, the promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence and the protection of all eco-systems. And we want to help you understand that you, as a GLOBAL CITIZEN, are completely involved in all of them.   

This website offers you a selection of materials to understand, reflect and take action:

  • The Big Ideas – a selection of relevant topics and events to help you focus and learn more about climate change, international inequalities, gender inequalities and  migrations.

“This book is about your history, our history. It is not crowded with king’s names, dates and events you would probably forget after few months. It is not a history of your country, as nations are very young political formations: their history is not able to give account of our past as humans on this planet. This book tells another story, a story about the planet on which you are born and live. It is a story about planet Earth and the humans who have inhabited it, and above all about their fascinating and often troublesome relation”.
