About the GLOBAL GOALS WEEK

What if your students could meet the world, instead of just reading about it?

Global Goals Week is a series of engaging and interactive online sessions designed to connect classrooms across the world.

Each morning (9th – 13th March) at 9:30 am, we come together for a fun, one-hour online learning event with our friends from South Africa, Kenya, UAE, Northern Ireland, and Palestine.

Throughout the week, students explore different Global Goals, share ideas and experiences from their own countries, and discover how young people everywhere can take action for a fairer, cleaner, and more sustainable world.

Interested in joining other classrooms from around the world?

They’ll discover:

  • Hobbies and lifestyle of students their age from other countries.
