Edu-fy has launched the Collaborative Global Changemaker Program which is open to schools around the world.
The program allows teachers to integrate the pedagogies of project-based learning, game-based learning and social and emotional learning using the frameworks of design-thinking, dialogic techniques and 21st century skills. The issues arising from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide the basis for the problems that the changemakers will solve.
Schools are invited to contact us to express their interest in joining this changemaker program.
The aim of the program is to empower students to be changemakers of today and use their creativity to design solutions to the issues they see around them. It will also raise awareness amongst teachers and students about the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. (SDGs).
Students from Grades 4-9 will form teams and decide on an issue they want to address. The Grade 7-9 students research the issue and create a story narrative about the issue for the younger team members to solve. The program will include the learning material needed by the Grade 4-6 students in the team to design possible solutions. The older students take a leadership role in guiding the younger team members.
Once a challenge is co-created it will become a valuable resource for teachers to use in their classrooms to teach about the SDGs.
These lessons can be delivered in class or online.
