In a bid to promote sustainable development and educate the future generation about the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), AIIDEV Africa has launched the second cohort of the Teach4SDGs.
The Teach4SDGs programme is a 12-week intensive training that includes 10+ advanced workshops, lectures, comprehensive readings and assessments, and practical projects that will allow school educators to deepen their understanding of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The programme will cover the 17 SDGs and their targets, as well as relevant topics such as Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Climate Change, Environmental Sustainability, Green and Circular Economy, Project Management, Technology and Innovation for Educators.
The goal of Teach4SDGs is to equip teachers with the resources needed to educate the next generation to achieve a sustainable future. The project will provide teachers with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to effectively teach their students about the SDGs and support the integration of the SDGs into the existing curriculum.
