DESCRIPTION

This tool is a combination of individual and group activities to train trainers about the 17 Sustainable Development Goals through video, analysis, role-play, and reflection. It is suitable for trainers and for volunteers.

How does this tool work?
The participants watch an introductory video about the SDGs and then analyse one goal each for a few minutes. Following this, they will engage in a role-play "Negotiation game", where one participant acts as a wealthy donor and the others represent their assigned SDG(s). Each participant tries to convince the donor to support their cause. After the role play, a discussion will be held, focusing on SDG interconnections and possible challenges.

Aim
The aim is to deepen the participants’ understanding of the SDGs through active participation, role-play, and reflection, fostering insights into the complexities of global development issues.

Needed for implementation
- Access to the official website of the UN SDGs for study purposes
- Labels indicating the represented SDGs
