Global Goals Challenge
We're happy to help organise a Global Goals Challenge at your school.
Global Goals Challenge - is a three-day challenge-based workshop that engages students from Learning Futures Network and Innovative Schools Consortium member institutions to engage in an intensive design process to identify and suggest solutions to problems related to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We can accommodate 50-100 students for each challenge with 60-70 being the ideal range.
Student participation is facilitated by a hosting teacher and an experienced educator from Curtin University and includes mentoring opportunities with experts from academia, industry, community and cultural organisations. This can also be accompanied by a teacher professional learning event around managing open-ended challenge-based enquiry connected to curriculum outcomes and the development of learner capabilities.
The Global Goals Challenge is an ACES recognised program and all participants become eligible to apply for SHAPE Awards.
This year we’ll also be encouraging students and teachers to consider extending and repurposing the work they begin in the Global Goals Challenge so that it can be used to enter the United Nations Association Aust (WA) Students’ Sustainability Challenge – the work we do in the Global Goals Challenge can easily be transferred and applied to fulfil the entire Innovation phase of the UNAA(WA) competition – the work can also then be adapted to create entries into the Game Changer Awards.
*** Hosting schools must be members of the Learning Futures Network - membership is free of cost and obligation - see
