UN-Sustainable

Education should prepare students for the world they are going to live in. That world will require more awareness of the impact humans have on the planet and each other. In 2015 the United Nation set out 17 sustainable development goals, with their mission statement being, “A blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all by 2030”.

Rachel Tomlinson and Karl Cross have become enthusiastic about making this goal a reality and developing their students to become leaders on sustainable development. To do this, they’re weaving the 17 SDGs throughout the whole curriculum at Barrowford Primary, but how do teach primary school students about sustainability and what can they do about it?

BIG thank you to Rachel, Karl, Lisa, and Esmae for sharing her story in the episode.
