Pedagogical twist

For SDG4 (quality education) sheet, our favourite pedagogical twist is:

Make space for students' voices and knowledge sharing: Students' tips. Ask students to give tips about a topic/SDG (for instance, a book/article to read, a video/series/movie/documentary to watch, a game to play, etc.) and ask them to give a little explanation of the proposed source (the main content, the author, where to find it, etc.).

Create a shareable google spreadsheets where students can add the sources/link of their suggested material. Bear in mind: You can also learn from your students!

If you have another pedagogical twist in mind, feel free to apply or´ check the pedagogical twist list.

The goal is to “Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”.
Education is and will be the key to achieving a better world where all SDGs are achieved by 2030.
 

Additional material
Further inspirational material: Further data on SDG4: Report 2023 UN Article: Why Educating Girls Is the Answer to International Sustainable Development  Girl Rising | Afghanistan Chapter “Written by Zarghuna Kargar and voiced by Anne Hathaway, Amina’s chapter is one of nine remarkable stories from the Girl Rising film. Amina is constrained by Afghan society, confined by her gender and expected only to serve men. But this child bride has had enough. She is determined to reject the limitations prescribed by society and to lead others to do the same”.  Possible activity: let students watch the little movie and read this article. Afterwards, propose this essay title: “Women in Afghanistan have fought so long to win their rights and access education as shown in the story of Amina. Now, with the invasion of the Taliban, all progress seems nullified. Make your considerations about what has happened regarding girls’ and women’s education in Afghanistan and think about how their future will look like now. Do you see a bright light of hope and change? How would your future be compromised if all of a sudden you couldn’t access education anymore but obey a new system of rules?
