Global Citizenship: Sustainability

and the

Journey Beyond the SDGs

Online Course

Go beyond the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to examine how our understanding of community and action helps to transform our teaching and learning practices. Throughout the course we will explore how to move from a prescriptive model of service to one that focuses on active listening, and reciprocal collaboration with community partners. Through the lens of the SDGs, we’ll explore social justice and belonging, the holistic well-being of our communities, sustainable economic models, and to approach climate change and eco-anxiety empowering you to create a meaningful and sustainable impact in your community.

What our Community is Saying

My goal was to learn more about teaching sustainability to beef up my climate change unit. Goal completed! I have so much to use from this course it is amazing. I now see that using sustainable teaching through out the year in science is my next step. Building student inquiry projects on the models of new economy, happiness, and sustainability into the whole year is my next step. - Phil Sorbetti, American School of Doha
