Get It Global - manual on SDGs
Newsletter nº3
Get IT Global
Get It Global aims to raise awareness on the grassroots level about global challenges and to contribute to the development of future global citizens. What we intend to do with this publication is offering a set of activities that can be implemented in trainings or activities with young people in schools or youth centers in order to raise awareness on the SDGs and the global problems that the world is facing, develop empathy and solidarity, help to understand the interconnections between global and local dimension, develop the feeling of responsibility towards the global challenges and motivate young people to take action.
The manual was developed within the framework of the project “GLOBAL PLACE: Global Partnership for Learning, Acting, Creating and Educating”, an EU project for foster cooperation and exchanges in the field of youth between Programme Countries and Partner Countries from different regions of the world.
WHY this manual?
One of the characteristics of the global problems is their interconnectedness and the need of global mobilization to tackle them. An example, in very simplified words: poverty can cause illiteracy problem, and that leads to the population growth due to the lack of family planning, and the demographic pressure increases the levels of poverty. Or we could also say that climate change is causing declining rainfall and this influence the food security, that is influencing the famine, and causing that the states fail. Those kinds of examples you can multiply in almost an endless way. In order to fight these global challenges, a complex approach addressing all the problems needs to be undertaken, and for this we need the collaboration of the whole global community.
So what is the role of the youth work to support this process? In our approach the youth work can play the essential role in raising awareness on the grassroots level about the global challenges and developing of the future global citizens. What we tend to do with this publication is offering the set of activities that can be implemented in trainings or activities with young people in schools or youth centers that:
- raise awareness on the SDGs and the global problems that the world is facing,
- develop the empathy and solidarity,
- help to understand the multiple interconnections between global and local dimension,
- develop the feeling of responsibility towards the global challenges,
- motivates young people to take the action.
The publication contains 17 educational modules of 1,5-3 hours each, and each one is related to one goal. Although, as it was mentioned before, since the goals are interconnected, participants might as well indirectly develop the understanding of other goals.
We hope that this manual will be useful for you and we are open for any feedback and experience of its use.
