During the second ever , GAP worked with 6th Class students to learn about Global Citizenship.
The which came into effect this year, and aim to achieve three extraordinary things by 2030:
- END POVERTY
- COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE
- FIGHT INJUSTICE AND INEQUALITY
Student discussions were led by these key questions:
- What kind of a world do you want to live in?
- Which of the new Global Goals for Sustainable Development will help fight Climate Change?
- How will the Global Goals affect young people?
- How are they relevant in Ireland?
- How can you help achieve them?
Our interactive presentation and discussion-based workshop focused on these new Global Goals, giving the youth of Ireland a voice to respond locally, nationally and globally to these targets.
