Focus Global Citizenship & SDG’s
Where Denmark
Host The Youth Town & ASP partner schools
Film: Our shining light
This film follows four South African students from a township near Cape Town – before, during, and after a Global Camp in Denmark – hosted by the Danish network of UNESCO SDG Schools. 52 students and teachers from Denmark, Ghana, Lebanon, Serbia, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, and US Virgin Islands met one week in October 2019 to share views and experience about the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals – and to develop partnerships between their schools.
Podcast
In November 2019 students from Ghana, Lebanon, Denmark, Serbia, Spain, South Africa, Turkey, and the USVI were gathered to attend a Global Camp organized by the UNESCO ASP-network. The students spend three days in Copenhagen and two days out with their partner schools in different cities around Denmark to work with the SDGs. This podcast consists of some of the thoughts the students had during Global Camp. More information can be found on unesco-asp.dk/english.

The Quest
Together with a partner school/class you are going on a quest to find out why the Global Goals are considered to be the most important goals in the history of mankind – and what you can do to contribute to achieve the Goals.
Challenges
On your quest you will meet some challenges that you must surmount to become a goalkeeper. If you managed all the challenges you will get a goalkeeper certificate[1] in Copenhagen.
For instance you will have to examine:
- Your school
- Your knowledge about the world
- The content and importance of the Global Goals
- What you and your school can do to contribute to achieve the Global Goals
The idea is that the two partner schools coordinate their efforts in order to work with each of the four challenges at the same time and present and comment/discuss their work with each other after each challenge.
You are welcome to use whichever communication platform you prefer. However, if you and your partner school are not familiar with any platforms, Youth Town can assist you in using Padlet for your online communication.
