Litter and Waste
The theme is a great starting point for encouraging a sense of personal pride and responsibility in tackling two visible issues in schools and communities.

Biodiversity
Biodiversity looks at steps which can be taken in schools to increase awareness of the importance of native plants, animals and habitats, and to increase species-richness in a locality.

Travel
The ultimate aim of the theme is to increase the number of students walking, cycling, scooting, using public transport or carpooling on the way to school.

Global Goal 14: Life Below Water

Global Goal 14: Life Below Water

Global Goal 14: Life Below Water is beautifully explored in our Global Goals Book Club through the book “Manfish: A Story of Jacques Cousteau” by Jennifer Berne. This story about Jacques Cousteau explores the wonders of the ocean and the importance of preserving marine life. Through Cousteau’s adventures and discoveries, children learn about the beauty and fragility of underwater ecosystems and the need to protect them from pollution and overfishing. By engaging with Global Goal 14 through our curated books, young readers gain an appreciation for marine conservation and are inspired to take actions that help preserve our oceans.
