Here’s week one.

Topic 1: Introduction to Sustainable Development & Global
Citizenship

Hello! I welcome you to this course! This course aims to ensure that you,
students, perform and gain deeper understanding on the SDGs. This seeks
to provide a variety of positive educational experience to help you acquire
knowledge, develop skills and form attitudes that will enable you to become

“self-directed, productive, contributing members of society.”

This also offers opportunities for you to enhance and demonstrate your
knowledge and skills in a semi-competitive manner where attitudes of
friendliness, cooperation and fairness prevail. This game-based course aims
to build a foundation of factual knowledge to lead the way for higher-order
thinking, deeper analysis and application, and most importantly, learning to
love learning.

Tips for Studying Online

Having the freedom to study online can be convenient, but this might
make it difficult to focus and start studying. When learning online, you
should become a self-directed learner!

Here are some great tips for you:

• Read the COURSE GUIDE. All the important information can be found
here.
• Plan weekly study time and if possible email or upload output on time.
• Spare time for the class at least 3 times a week.
• Ask questions to your instructor.
• Make connections with your fellow classmates (check group chat)
 Activity Phase 1:
Read and understand the 17 Sustainable Development Goals
through this official website of UNESCO. Click the logo or here:
https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/?menu=1300

What are the Sustainable Development Goals?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global
Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a
universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that
all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030.

The 17 SDGs are integrated—that is, they recognize that action in one
area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance
social, economic and environmental sustainability.

Through the pledge to Leave No One Behind, countries have committed

to fast-track progress for those furthest behind first. That is why the SDGs
are designed to bring the world to several life-changing ‘zeros’, including
zero poverty, hunger, AIDS and discrimination against women and girls.

Everyone is needed to reach these ambitious targets. The creativity,

knowhow, technology and financial resources from all of society is
necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.

What is UNDP's role?

As the lead UN development agency, UNDP is well-placed to help
implement the Goals through their work in some 170 countries and
territories.

They support countries in achieving the SDGs through integrated

solutions. Today’s complex challenges—from stemming the spread of
disease to preventing conflict—cannot be tackled neatly in isolation. For
UNDP, this means focusing on systems, root causes and connections
between challenges—not just thematic sectors—to build solutions that
respond to people’s daily realities.

Their track record working across the Goals provides with a valuable
experience and proven policy expertise to ensure they all reach the targets
set out in the SDGs by 2030. But they cannot do this alone.

Achieving the SDGs requires the partnership of governments, private

sector, civil society and citizens alike to make sure they leave a better
planet for future generations.
 Activity Phase 2:
Summarize or list down the main goals for each Sustainable
Development Goal Briefly as a summary of your readings.

Example:

SDG1 – No poverty - By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of

men, women, and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions
according to national definitions

Activity Phase 3:
Read and understand overview about Global Citizenship
Education

Global citizenship education, while the world may be increasingly

interconnected, human rights violations, inequality, and poverty still threaten
peace and sustainability.

Global Citizenship Education (GCED) is UNESCO’s response to these

challenges. It works by empowering learners of all ages to understand that
these are global, not local issues and to become active promoters of more
peaceful, tolerant, inclusive, secure, and sustainable societies.

GCED is a strategic area of UNESCO’s Education Sector program and builds

on the work of Peace and Human Rights Education. It aims to instill in
learners the values, attitudes, and behaviors that support responsible global
citizenship: creativity, innovation, and commitment to peace, human rights,
and sustainable development.
UNESCO’s work in this area is grounded in its own Constitution which aims
to ‘build peace in the minds of men and women,’ the Universal Declaration
of Human Rights, the Education 2030 Agenda and Framework for Action,
notably Target 4.7 of the Sustainable Development Agenda,
the Recommendation concerning Education for International Understanding,
Co-operation, and Peace and Education relating to Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms (1974), and the World Programme for Human
Rights Education(link is external) (2005-ongoing).

Under the GCED umbrella, UNESCO has several special

themes: Preventing violent extremism through education, Education about
the Holocaust and genocide, Languages in education, and the promotion of
the rule of law through global citizenship education.

UNESCO collaborates with an extensive global network to disseminate

GCED including its own Category 1 institutes, other UN agencies, and inter-
governmental organizations, including regional organizations, most notably:
the UNESCO Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Education for Peace and
Sustainable Development (MGIEP), the International Institute for Capacity
Building in Africa (IICBA), the UNESCO Institute for Statistic (UIS), the Asia-
Pacific Centre of Education for International Understanding (APCIEU), the
UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network
(ASPNet) and UNITWIN/UNESCO Chairs.

Activity Phase 4:
Answer this question briefly,
“As a student, how can you become a global citizen?”
 SUMMARY REPORT: INTRODUCTION
1. This is done individually.
2. Those parts with highlighted yellow boxes require answers. Create a separate
file for your answers. You can use word/pdf or ppt, else written if no resources
available. If your answers are hardcopy or written, take a clear photo or better use
camscanner app.
3. Use this filename:
Filename: GCED-SECTION-WEEK1-FAMILYNAME,FIRSTNAME
4. Submit on or before 11:59PM , April 23, 2022 thru uploading your outputs in the
MS Form.

ANNOUNCEMENT: QUIZ BOWL!

(Tentative)
1. As part of week 1 game activity, we will have a quiz bowl this Thursday, April 21,
2022 via Kahoot! Only those students with Wi-Fi can join.
2. The teams will be composed of 5 members, at least 3 with strong Wi-Fi connection.
The other 2 members from the team shall help in the searching of answers during
the quiz bowl. You can do messenger video call with your team for them to hear
the questions just in case their data connection can’t hold virtual meetings. The
quiz bowl will also be recorded.
3. The quiz bowl will be an open-sourced type. You can google and open the website.
No restrictions on your opened sources.
4. I will post your groupings at most Thursday for you to have time to strategize.
