Topics
Each Module is focused on a different global issue that relate to one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGS). Teachers can chose which topic they’d like their class to learn about - or do both! Both Modules can be accessed through the curriculum, which can be found here.
Girls Education
Student challenge: How can the international community work together to create more opportunities for girls’ education?
Education is one the most empowering ways for an individual to change their own lives, yet around the world, fewer girls have access to education. Moreover, the current global pandemic is only making access to education more challenging.

Ocean Conservation
Student challenge: How can the international community work together to protect the oceans?
Some were calling 2020, the “Year of the Ocean” with planned conferences to address ocean conservation, including the World Ocean Summit in Japan in March, the U.N. Ocean Conference in Portugal in June, the World Conservation Congress in France also in June, and culminating in actions by the U.N. Committee on Fisheries in Italy in July. But like many events this spring these in-person meetings were canceled due to the global pandemic.
Join world leaders in taking on the challenge of staying focused and resilient even through unprecedented changes to plans, events, and daily life.
