Students in Nord Anglia Education schools around the world have risen to the challenge to find innovative solutions to combat world hunger. As part of a yearlong project to raise awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals, students have started implementing plans to counter the rise of world hunger.
Fernanda Bravo Conrads is in her last year of IB. She was selected by her head of school to attend the first Global Goals Summit 2017, where 87 Nord Anglia students traveled from across the world to the iconic city of New York. Nord Anglia worked with UNICEF to promote and help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Fernanda joined three other students from Nord Anglia International School Shanghai, Pudong -- Sammi Huang, I-Zac Lee and Benedicte Vestrum.
Last month, Nord Anglia Education students headed to New York City to present their ideas and accomplishments in targeting the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Phillippa Tichotova, an English teacher from Prague who accompanied the students on the trip, shares how students inspired her dissertation on how they engage with the Global Goals to make a difference in their communities.
Nord Anglia students are preparing to travel to New York next week to present their work on the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals during a special side meeting at the United Nation’s High-Level Political Forum.
In June, Nord Anglia Education students attended a side event at the United Nations Oceans Conference to discuss the role of youth in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Students ages 10-24 focused on Goal #14 on the sustainable use of the ocean and marine resources.
