New Mindsets for Global Goals

I has the pleasure of speaking about the UN's Global Goals during a recent Highr Webinar. Here I explained how I use them in design class, and how you can use them too! 
​
"In the run-up to #WorldSDGDay on September 25th, this webinar explores how crucial components of learning - empathy, design, play, and stories - can be interwoven with our teaching of the SDGs to help students understand the world they live in, and how they have the potential to be change makers."

I have a three part workshop coming up soon, "Building Student Empathy & Perspectives", which will focus on the important of an empathy based classroom! I want my students to be successful, but I also want them to make a positive impact on the world! Empathy and perspective taking can help this happen!

The session will happen over three Sundays, starting on October 4th. Each session will be two hours along.

Aims of the workshop:
The Participant will be able to: 

1. Understand and explain the importance of an empathy focussed classroom.
2. Curate relevant resources linked to current local and global issues for student engagement
3. Design activities, lessons and units which are focussed on students developing empathy, which will lead to them taking action
