Are we aware that the New Sustainable
Development Goals( Global Goals) will be announced on the day after tomorrow,
which is the 25 of September 2015? If not, then this is our opportunity to talk
about the goals like something that belongs to us the youths and to do
everything possible to inform a lot more people as far as promoting the goals
are concerned (particularly of preferred interest to me is goal number 5)
within and around our schools and communities.
As Actress & Plan International "Because I am
a Girl" Ambassador, Freida Pinto puts it:
"If all girls and boys learn
about gender equality, we can expect a more gender-sensitized world which will
reduce crimes against women and girls and help grow respect for every human
alive. And then, we can have that truly prosperous world that we dream of
having.”
A brief history about the goals:
On September 25th 2015, 193 world leaders will commit to the
Global Goals for Sustainable Development. 17 goals to achieve 3 extraordinary
things in the next 15 years. End extreme poverty, Fight inequality and
injustice, Fix climate change. If every
community member teaches a small group of people from their household, and school teachers around the world teach
children about the goals as well, together we can mobilize to achieve the
generation that changed the world.
So, which is why we must join the support with the Global Goals
Campaign in partnership with UNICEF and a host of children’s heroes such as
Serena Williams, Malala Yousafzai, Neymar, Dani Alves, Kolo Touré and Nancy
Ajram, under the World’s Largest
Lesson campaign. Schools in over 100 countries are taking part , so why
not us Cameroonians?
All you have to do is teach a lesson about the Global Goals in the week of
the 27th September. Spend 30 minutes or an hour introducing
students/your community members to this new “to-do” list for people and planet
in an assembly, a class or community gathering. All the resources you
need are available in 10 languages at www.globalgoals.org/worldslargestlesson
The World’s Largest lesson is a film written by Sir Ken
Robinson and animated by Oscar winning Aardman Animation that can challenge
students and non-students to help fight global inequality, end poverty and
protect the planet, using their very own superpowers. It’s introduced by
celebrities in different languages to inspire children.
‘Heroes for Change’ is a comic book from leading comic writers
and illustrators. It’s beautiful and introduces the goals and sets out the
impact they will have as a collective. Use the comic to help inspire children
to put on their ‘blue capes’ and work together for change.
The World We Want is a guide to the Global Goals for children and
young people that can give you and your students the background information
that they need to start with.
Lesson plans from friends across the world. A group of
passionate celebrities and teachers have been gathered to create exciting lessons
plans that range from introducing the new Global Goals as a whole, to ones that
focus on gender equality, education, violence and many more.
We must all try to run as many lessons as possible within our schools
/around our communities during the week of September 27th. Run a lesson
if you can or share this message with someone who might be able to!
Then join in the conversation on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
