To evoke feelings and raise awareness regarding environmental issues, video clips were shown, highlighting the pressing environmental problems the world faces today.
Following this, the content of the book "Be the Change" was introduced. The facilitators discussed how the stories and lessons from the book can be integrated into different subjects to inspire students and bring about positive change. Practical examples and strategies were shared, enabling teachers to incorporate these ideas into their teaching methods effectively.
The workshop was truly an enlightening experience, successfully raising awareness among the teachers and equipping them with tools to integrate SDG goals and the inspiring content of "Be the Change" into their curricula. We are really looking forward to carrying this out and bringing a change to the planet.
