Développer des mentalités de durabilité pour les jeunes grâce à la Smithsonian Science for Global Goals

Pourquoi assister à cette session?
Smithsonian Science for Global Goals provides youth ages 8-17 with the tools to understand the complexities of the SDGs, practical skills necessary to be change agents in their local community, and the spirit of action-taking that is necessary to overcome the complex socio-scientific issues facing our planet.
HideDescription
The Smithsonian Science Education Center (SSEC), attempting to empower the next generation of decision makers capable of taking informed action about the complex socio-scientific issues facing human society, blends together previous practices in Inquiry-Based Science Education (IBSE), Social Studies Education (SSE), and Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). In collaboration with the InterAcademy Partnership (IAP) and the private sector, the SSEC has made a collaborative commitment to developing a set of free Community Research Guides for students’ ages 8-17 called “Smithsonian Science for Global Goals.” Following the goal to teach students the science behind the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Smithsonian Science for Global Goals project wants to drive students to take action to use this science to do social good in their communities. This interactive hands-on session will take participants through the project and discuss it's theory of action and global impact.

Transforming learning from a passive to an active endeavor is critically important in today’s world. In 2015, the United Nations identified seventeen Sustainable Development Goals that represent a global consensus on the world’s most pressing issues. Realizing these ambitious goals will require concerted action at all levels, including local action. Young people are valuable components of this, and their learning experiences should both inform and inspire them as current and future changemakers. From Ideas to Action articulates the theoretical basis of Smithsonian Science for Global Goals, a series of socio-scientific community research guides focused on achieving a systemic understanding of global problems with the goal of inspiring young people to take informed and sustained action to help address global issues.
