One of the reviews on Amazon by a Teacher in Colorado – “Shaping a Fairer World with SDGs and Human Rights” is a next generation guidebook that provides both students and teachers with a foundation to effectively engage in Vision 2030. It’s a call to action that empowers all of us to take a closer look at our role as global citizens and choose our participation point(s) and level(s). In addition to providing the history/timeline of the creation of the SDG movement by the UN, this consciousness-raising resource includes a breakdown of each SDG and its targets, relevant vocabulary and concepts, inspiring stories, globally - minded activities, interactive visualizations, awareness-building mind maps and so much more. If you care about our people, our planet, and our future, you won’t miss this book.
