Course Description
The UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #2 seeks to stop world hunger by 2030.
Many people around the world have to spend all day trying to get food for themselves and their families. This means that children and teenagers lack the time or do not have the energy to go to school. However, if we all work together, we can help these people and make a difference with the intention of getting closer to achieving SDG #2.
The course is for you between 12 and 13 years old.
This course consists of 3 units:
- In Unit 1, you will learn more about what Goal #2 consists of.
- In Unit 2, we will show you some of the things that people are doing to achieve this goal.
- In Unit 3, you will help by providing ideas on how to achieve this goal!
Enjoy!
