• The challenge being tackled by SDG Advocate project is that of encouraging global citizens to take action on issues through the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

• The target group is the Adult and Community Education sector

• The “solution” is to encourage participants through use of non-formal educational experiential approaches to become active global citizens using the pillars of Global Citizenship education to address local issues through the SDGs framework

• Each “Action Project” that emerges from the individual participants of the SDG Advocate programme is an innovative approach to tackling the root causes of poverty, inequality, injustice, and climate change. Representative Anne Hannan will display her innovative action project

Unique Selling Point

• This project takes a holistic approach to introduce all 17 SDGs to learners over a period of time. Focusing on one goal each month. The slide-deck links to a range of materials including images, videos, alarming facts, infographics, meditations, evidence-based articles, and suggested actions. The aim is to engage all learners with a variety of content that can be easily assimilated into existing learning outcomes or stand alone as a quick energizer or monthly topic.

• Hopefully the monthly updates encourage and engage tutors to engage with the content and include it in their teaching and learning. So far, I have not gathered any data on this but I hope to as more people have access to the materials.

• The materials are available to any tutor who may wish to use them.
